Clipboard hack

Reposting with the workaround ...

This seems to be a dangerous security vulnerability

Just follow these steps here:-

1) Copy any text

2) Click the Link:

3) You will be able to see the text you copied on the Screen.

NOTE: If you are using to save PASSWORDS / Cr. Card#s / IMP

Info in clip-board Read carefully...

Do not keep sensitive data in the clipboard while surfing the

web. It is a single line code to extract the text stored in the

clipboard to steal your sensitive information.


This works only in Internet Explorer

How to Prevent
==============
Solution:
To prevent this, in Internet Explorer,
a. Tools > Internet Options > Security
b. For Internet, Custom Level > Scripting, Disable "Allow paste operations via script"

Hi Jayan, There are not too many good free forex strategies related sites that aren't full of junk posts, search engine scraping and except for keyword stuffing, nothing useful related to free forex strategies. It was nice to find an exception today when I happened upon your site. Keep it going.
