Users warned over IE clipboard exploit | |
|

| Time: 08:20 EST/13:20 GMT | News Source: ZDNet UK | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

If you thought the contents of your Windows clipboard were secure, then think again. Windows users were warned over the weekend of an exploit in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser that lets any Web site copy the contents of the Windows clipboard without the user knowing. Popular Windows site NTFS highlighted the exploit, which has been known about for some time, but which is still not widely known amongst users. "I often copy and paste passwords," said one ZDNet UK reader on finding out about it. | ||

"This latest warning comes hot on the heels of several new IE security bugs, and as Microsoft's browser continues to increase in poularity, now commanding more than 52 percent of the market."
Are they just referring to IE 6? All versions of IE together have about 95% of the market. |

This is a known issue. In fact if you go to www.auditmypc.com, it will instruct you on how to go around this problem. This post was edited by rommels on Monday, December 23, 2002 at 09:41. |

| So NS 4 finally has a larger market share than IE 4. :-) |

If you ever needed proof that the status quo is not safer than Passport... there you have it. :) |
