Browsing and the Clipboard
I never knew this was possible until someone pointed it out to me...How many times have you "Copied" your password from somewhere in order to enter it on a website logon or something?

Well I've just found out that the contents of your clipboard are available to anyone!!!

Using JavaScript:
<script language="javascript">
document.write(clipboardData.getData("Text"));
</script>

For an example:
http://www.um8.co.uk/clipbrd.htm

This is fine until you leave one site (that you cut and paste the password for) and go to another site that reads the clipboard!!!
