Hey Every1

This really should go into the warning section but more people will see it here.

Btw I am not affiliated in any way with the site posted...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied

data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a

combination of Javascripts and ASP.


Just try this:

1) Copy any text by ctrl+c

2) Click the Link:

http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp


3) You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was

accessed by this web page.


Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, creditcard numbers, PIN

etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to

extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive

information.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:


Go to internet options->security
Press custom level
In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.


Thought Id Let you all know!

Hope this helps! - If it helped you please consider adding to my rep!

Thanx

Iravan

No, I tried first in FF too and it didn't work. No special protections. It does work in IE though.

However, just because you don't see the results in FF, that doesn't mean the information wasn't retreived...
