Default Do Not Use CTRL+C when ur on web

Ctrl+C may be the most important work we do everyday. But it's not a very safe thing to do. Read on to know why. What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are online. We do copy various data by Ctrl + C for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP. This is called clipboard hack problem.
Just try this:
1. Copy any text by Ctrl + C
2. Click the Link: http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp
3. You will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.If u dont see the text u copied it means ur security level is ok

Surprised! Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card 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. Forward this information to as many friends as you can, to save them from online frauds!
It is true, text you last copied for pasting (copy & paste) can be stolen when you visit web sites using a combination of JavaScript and ASP (or PHP, or CGI) to write your possible sensitive data to a database on another server.

How Cipboard Hack is done?

The Clipboard hack is done by the following Source Code:
< script language=" JavaScript">
var content = clipboardData.getData("Text");
alert(content);

(code has been given un-wanted spaces to make it visible on forum : )

How to safeguard yourself from Clipboard Hack Problem?
To avoid clipboard hack problem, do the following:

1. Go to internet options->security.
2. Press custom level.
3. In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.
Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.
