Thnx for the heads up! :thumbsup:
Didn't know this. I am always amazed at what I learn here at Landzdown! :thumbsup:
ripley
That was quite the read. And to think how they used to chitter chat about how easy prey 98's were to this type of occurance.
:D The Author of the Inquirer article recommends setting the "Allow paste operations
via script" to "Disable" ; both the Editor of Spyware Weekly Newsletter and Mitch
recommend setting this to "Prompt". I wonder if the latter is sufficient to avoid
the info in the clipboard from being seen on the web !?

If you go to that test-page having the settings set to "Allow" , the info in the clip-board is copied into the page, without a prompt or anything
I copied your post and went there :
http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp
(https://www.landzdown.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5706.0;attach=844)
When you have set it to "Prompt" a window will open where you allow or deny:
(https://www.landzdown.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5706.0;attach=842)
And if you click no, the info kept in the clip-board is safe:

Unlike IE, this feature is disabled in Firefox. In the event, however, you do wish to allow copy/paste on a particular server, you can use the AllowClipboard Helper (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=852&application=firefox) extension to edit the user.js for just that site. (Note: after adding the site, you will have to restart Firefox)
A few years ago when I knew less than I know now( :hysterical: Still don't know much!!) I came across this site- http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/ - ,and from memory it tested for Clipboard vulnerability. To this day I do not use clipboard. :(
:rose: wow. i sure do learn alot here :thumbsup:
and, Tarnak, thanks for the bcheck.scanit.be link -- very cool
:gwave:
I seem to have passed the test ....
