 Hello....

Clipboard Hack Problem - Shocking news about CTRL+C

Ctrl+C may be the most important work we do everyday. But it's not a very safe

thing to do. Read on to know why. What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you

are online. We do 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. This is called clipboard hack problem.

Just try this:

Copy any text by Ctrl + C

Click the Link:<http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp>

You will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.

Surprised!

 I know you are because i was also surprised to see it. Do not keep sensitive

data (like passwords, credit card 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. Forward this information to as

many friends as you can, to save them from online frauds!

It is true, text you last copied for pasting (copy & paste) can be stolen when

you visit web sites using a combination of JavaScript and ASP (or PHP, or CGI)

to write your possible sensitive data to a database on another server.

How to safeguard yourself from Clipboard Hack Problem?

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.

Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.
