What?! Are all those companies still using IE6 (and, consequently, holding back progress for the rest of us) aware of this massive security hole?



Hey, it's a feature. We can "fund" the time spent on IE6 workarounds by selling data obtained from paste buffers.


Companies using IE 6 have many more security problems than clipboard access.


At this point of time IE6 is a wide open door, something as trivial as reading your paste isn't that big of a deal in comparison.
