Web sites you visit can retrieve data from your clipboard depending on
your security settings. Go to this page (www.clipboard.googlemyway.com)
and see if anything shows up in the box. If you are using Firefox or
Opera you probably won't see anything. However, if you are using
Internet Explorer then chances are that whatever you last copied into
your clipboard will be displayed.

Big Deal. How often is there something in your clipboard you care about?

Sort of old news now, with a patch IMO overdue.
However, you can, and should for reasons beyond this flaw,
use the IE security settings so that cut and paste is not enabled.
