The CTRL+C Threat!!!!

Its Quite shocking to know that the data that we copy(using CTRL+C or right click-Copy) can be accessed by any one on the INTERNET.
YES!! Its True.

You can test it by yourself by clicking on the link(in Internet Explorer)

Shocked??!!
Better dont copy any sensitive data(like passwords) while you are connected to the NET

But how is it done???
Ans: The Clipboard hack is done by the following Source Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
var content = clipboardData.getData("Text");
alert(content);
</script>

The good news is, this HACKING can be done only in Internet Explorer, and even that can be avoided.

To avoid clipboard hack problem in Internet Explorer 7, do the following:
1. Go to internet options->security.
2. Press custom level.
3.
In the security settings, select disable under Allow Programmatic Clipboard Access
