You Think IE is Safe ...Think Again!!!

Have you ever copied information to your clipboard, then later went online?

If the info you copied was of a sensitive nature, then this is gonna scare ya like Bigfoot jumping out of your bathroom closet.


Did you know that a website can easily snatch the info on your clipboard with about one line of Javascript?

Yup, it's true. Not all browsers are susceptible to this, but Internet Explorer is. Copy any line of this article and head to the page below:




CODE
http://www.worldstart.com/clipboardtest/clipboard-test




If it shows up on that page, then you're probably feeling a little anxious right about now.

I mean, just imagine if that info had been a password, credit card number, or bank account info!


Want to know how to disable this "feature"? It's easy as fallin' off a digital log:


1. Open Internet Explorer and click the Tools menu, Internet Options.

2. Click the Security tab, then press the "Custom Level" button.

3. OK, grab your shovel, it's time to do some digging. Under the "Scripting" section, hunt for an entry called "Allow paste operations via script". Set to disable (or at least prompt).

4. Hit OK until you're back to Explorer.

5. That's it. Now try the page above and see what happens. With any luck, you should find that your clipboard is no longer accessible. Cool huh?

This is really a big problem if most all of yours passwords are saved and copy/paste them.
