Please be very careful when u press ctrl + c ..
Here is some useful information for all.
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 On-line... 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 JavaScript's and ASP.
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.
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 on-line frauds !

Thanks for this information. Everyone will aware then its will help us in future from hackers and harm.
Welcome Mr.Santhosh Kumar Singh.I think this will be more useful to software engineers like you and will be able to share with your friends and co workers.
Just as we delete history, is there some way for deleting clip board before turning off the computer. I hope Abid will answer this.
thanx abid. I too use copy and paste method while surfing the net.
Hello Abid,

Thank you for providing the much useful information. I copied some data using ctrl+c and checked in that link. But i didn't seen the copied data. can you tell me why it is happened ??
Very good information shared.In fact we must never use keyboard when we are doing online banking.

Gulshan,
i would like to answer your question.There is a freeware called ccleaner.It is one of the best freeware ever known.using it, you can delete every unwanted data, starting from the browser history to clipboard, with a click of one button.download from http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
This JavaScript code to hack the Clipboard only works in Internet Explorer.

But It doesn't work in other browsers like Mozilla or Chrome. Because they don't allow to execute the "Copy" command from within any programming code.

So, Internet Explorer users need to be cautious.
thanx man.....i also use cntrl+c usually.now, i will take care of this.
:)

I am sorry for this late reply.I don't know the answer to your question as I am not well experienced in this area.
It is always not good to keep the secret personal information in a system connected to interrnet.
