If you are using internet explorer ....... beware !! your clipboard data can be easily obtained by any site you visit. Can you see the line 'Observe it carefully' at the top of the page?. If you find your clipboard data up there ,you are most probably using Internet explorer and if not ,try opening this blog using IE . if you have copied something before opening this blog you will find it up there.We frequently use ctrl+c to copy text (like creditcard no. or any confidential data) and if IE is not set to stop this breaching, your copied data can be in the hand of others.
Surprised !! I was also surprised when i came to know about it. So never keep your sensitive data in the clipboard while surfing. Interestingly, this hack works only on internet explorer, and not on mozilla browser.
To avoid clipboard hacking problem, you can follow these steps:
- Go to tools > internet options > security
- Press the button 'custom level'
- Find 'Allow paste operations via script' . Disable it.
Many people are still unaware of this problem. So forward this to your friends and save them from online frauds.
fortunately you haven't copied your credit card no before visiting my blog!!!
