Think twice before pressing Ctrl+C

Posted by sou on Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Every-time you do a harmless keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C in your computer, the text you copy online may be stolen on the web. his copied data is accessible on the Internet when you visit websites that use a combination of javascript and ASP or any server-side-language like jsp, php, from which the data that you copy can be transferred to another server. Most websites are javascript enabled.
Not convinced? Try copying some text and just visit sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp, a website that provides free source codes and projects. You necessarily need not even press the ‘paste’ button.

The ‘paste’ happens automatically. The website just provides an example of what could potentially happen to you, especially if you have copied your credit card details, bank details or any other sensitive information.

so next time before using keyboard shortcut be careful. it is advised to not to use Ctrl+C while copying important informations.

THERE IS NO "GENIUS" IN THESE RULES. THEY ARE COMMON SENSE AND NOTHING ELSE, BUT AS VOLTAIRE SAID, "COMMON SENSE IS UNCOMMON." TRADING IS A COMMON-SENSE BUSINESS. WHEN WE TRADE CONTRARY TO COMMON SENSE, WE WILL LOSE. PERHAPS NOT ALWAYS, BUT ENORMOUSLY AND EVENTUALLY....
