Clipboard Hack Problem

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. Hopefully you haven't copied a credit card number recently before surfing!


To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:

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

Now the contents of your clipboard are safe :)
