Shocking fact About Ctrl+C (the 'copy' Cmd)
Posted On Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at at 2:36 AM by RonakPlease be very careful when you press Ctrl + C
We use Ctrl+C everyday. But it's not a very safe thing to do.
What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are
Online ?
The copied data is stored in clipboard and is
accessible from the net by
a combination of Javascripts and ASP. If u don’t 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 the following:
Go to internet options of explorer - tools menu ->Internet option -> Security Custom level
In settings - Select disable under allow past
operations via script.
I HOPE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL FOR YOU GUYS!
