"Ctrl + c"....copying like this is risky :-(

We do copy various data by pressing "ctrl+c" and use this copied data for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.

Feeling Hard to believe??!! ok...

Just follow the steps below:
1) select and Copy any text by pressing "ctrl+c" on your keyboard

2) Click the Link:http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp

3) You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was accessed by this web page.

Foxed!! hmmm....
So Don't keep sensitive data (like passwords, Credit Card numbers, PINetc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.
