MSIE clipboard spying

Still using IE? Think again. Turns out that IE makes the clipboad available to all javascript sites; no zone security rules applied

This means any site you browse to has unrestricted access to your clipboard.

I have to use IE to deal with some of the last-updated-in-1998 web sites at work, but those are few and far between. Firefox: its there for a reason.
