Windows IE security issue with clipboard
I just accidentally discovered a major security bug in IE for windows. Copy something into your cliboard from any application and then visit this page 
I created. The data will be alerted and although I am not collecting the data anyone could use this technology to steal and forward whatever information was in your clipboard when you visited their web page. Just think about what you copy into your clipboard when using IE, your passwords, your bank account info, etc. Get firefox

Who cares.. I use Linux anyways (but I do have a Windows box for downloading... documentaries).
Someone help him understand why Firefox is so much better! I give up!
Maybe you were loading the files from local disk (which has different permissions than a page from the web)?
