Dangerous CTRL+C
Oh yea, just using Ctrl+C shortcut to copy any sensitve information can put you at risk! With the combined help of Javascript and ASP or any server side programming languages the data from your clipboard can be sent through the web to a hacker. And we all surf with our javascripts enabled as majority of sites require javascript to be enabled in order to function properly. Hope that you haven’t copied a credit card number recently before surfing! I surely have done that mistake. But so far I didn’t have any problems.
