Internet Explorer Exposes Clipboard Data

Microsoft's Internet Explorer exposes clipboard data via javascript with no security confirmation. Ever work on your company payroll or other sensitive material in Excel? Did you "copy and paste" any of the data? Anywhere you surfed after that could possibly be collecting that data. There is no fix for this and while it is highly unlikely you will pass data on to evil people you should clear your clipboard before surfing the web. Or use Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Explorer.
