New Vulnerability Found In Internet Explorer

Post by pym »

Text you last copied for pasting (Ctrl+C) can be stolen when you visit web sites using a combination of JavaScript and ASP (or PHP, or CGI) to write your possible sensitive data to a database on another server. Hopefully you haven't copied a credit card number recently before surfing :?

Make sure you change how your IE handles scripting as written here:

Agreed 100%, too bad there are still a few pages where I am forced to use IE (mainly for work stuff).

I bet they could write a whole text book on all the vulnerabilities in IE. After a while they stop affecting you. Its like sunrise and sunset. They just never end, ever!

I <3 tabbed browsing, whenever I'm on a PC without FF I could cry because I can't tab my windows.

Well if you're forced to use IE at least tack on a few extensions like a popup blocker and something like Maxthon an extension browser. Although you might as well be putting a bandaid on a shratnel wound every bit counts, right?
