Beware!

We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data isstored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination ofJavascripts and ASP. Do not keep sensitive data (like creditcard numbers,bank login/ passwords, PIN, date of births, etc.) in the clipboard whilesurfing the web. Instead make a practice of typing them always.

It isextremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal yoursensitive information. (remember that our cyber laws are not stringentenough !!).Just try this to beleive yourself,

1) Copy any text by ctrl+c

2) Now, click the Link:http://www.friendlycanadian.com/applications/clipboard.htm

3) You will see the SAME text you copied is accessed by this web page.
