Ctrl+C during Internet session

Here is some useful information for all.

Ctrl+C may be the most important work we do everyday. But it's not a very safe thing to do. Read on to know why.
What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are Online...?
We do copy various data by Ctrl+C for pasting elsewhere.
This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of JavaScript’s and ASP.


Just try this:

1) Copy any text by Ctrl+C
2) Click this Link
3) you will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.

Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.

To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:
1. Go to internet options->security
2. Press custom level
3. In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.

Now the contents of your clipboard are safe. :)

Hello! Wrong number

This sruthi is really irritating me. I get some 3-5 calls/day for this girl on my phone. And the calls are from IBM, Wipro and other IT companies. Indian job market is booming, especially the IT sector.

Yeah! forgot to mention this - she seems to be in job-search mode and she
gave my number in the contact details and that's it. Mailed her(but no reply yet) after trying hard to get her mail id from the callers.

Next time, when u up against someone, just give their no. in a job site. That's it :D :D
