IE users read this !!!

    Internet Explorer/Maxthon Alert!!!, some websites can easily get information from your clipboard when you are using any of the IE based browsers. Firefox users are safe:D

    Have you ever copied information to your clipboard, then later went online?

    If the info you copied was of a sensitive nature, then this is gonna scare you like hell

    Did you know that a website can easily snatch the info on your clipboard with about one line of Javascript?

    it's true. Not all browsers are susceptible to this, but Internet Explorer is. Copy any line of this post and head to the page below:

    If it shows up on that page, then you're probably feeling a little anxious right about now.

    I mean, just imagine if that info had been a password, credit card number, or bank account info!


    Want to know how to disable this "feature"? It's easy as fallin' off a digital log:
