I got this from my friend Rojin.
Just try this:
1. Copy some text from any file in your computer. ( Press Ctrl+C or Right click the mouse and select “Copy” )
2. Open the below url:
http://www.friendlycanadian.com/applications/clipboard.htm
3. The copied text appears on the webpage! The scripts that are embedded to the webpage are able to capture the clipboard contents of your OS!
Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, creditcard numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to
extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.
Good News!
This is applicable only to Internet Explorer. I use and recommend everyone to use FireFox Browser. Firefox is much secure and is not vulnerable to these type of attacks. Good luck!
