IE Clipboard Leak

Recommended Posts

I found this in another forum I search for Fedora stuff. This isfrom Tejas:

"Copy something onto your clipboard using ctrl-<c>

then go to this website:

http://www.friendlycanadian.com/app...s/clipboard.htm

It will show you what is on your clipboard

This does not work in FC4 FireFox (thankfully).

More reasons to drop IE, even if you use windows

EDIT: I forgot to mention the security implications. This site is nice enough to show you what info is on your clipboard. There may be many sites that are not as honorable, and store your clipboard contents.

And you may have a password or credit cardnumber on your clipboard.

EDIT: If you use firefox, you are safe. This is in all respects an Internet Explorer Flaw"

I'll post the link if I'm allowed to later. It's very late and I don't feel like rechecking the forum rules on posting urls. It's an important bit of info, especially if you've already got spyware on your system.
