well its not safe to do it... or infact any personal / confidential information......

Copy any text / numbers etc you like and go to this URL which demo's the Hack that websites can use (seems to only work in IE thankfully!)

It does also tell you how to stop it occuring as well.

Basically any information you have in yer clipboard can be read, so if you are asked to type & confirm by re-typing yer c/c no and you copy & pastye it.......

I've never used an online store where its asked you to input you're card number twice. email addresses yes but those, nope.

Given that mac users can only cope with one mouse button, cut and paste is far too advanced so it's not an issue.

We only need 1 button as our OS is written properly without the need for hundreds of buttons to do simple tasks that the mac does already
