Shocking fact About Ctrl+c (the 'copy' Cmd)
Post date: Apr 15, 2011 4:36:09 AM
Please be very careful when u press Ctrl + C
Ctrl+C we use it every day . But it's not a very safe thing to do.
What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are Online... We do
copy various data by Ctrl + C for copying & pasting elsewhere.
This copied data is stored in clipboard and is
accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.
if u dont believe me 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 was accessed by
this web page.
so 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.
You can stop hacking of clipboard content by doing:
Go to internet options of explorer -_ tools menu ->
Internet option -> Security Custom level
In settings - Select disable under allow past operations via script.
