Clipboard Hack Problem using CTRL+C

*Ctrl+C may be the most important work we do everyday.. But it’s not a very safe thing to do. Read on to know why.

What happens when you press Ctrl+C while you are online.

We do copy various data by Ctrl + C for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.

This is called clipboard hack problem.

*Just try this:*

1. Copy any text by Ctrl + C
3. You will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.

*Surprised!* I know you are because i was also surprised to see it.

Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.

IMP Considerations while Uploading large files or many files to a library

Microsoft Recommendations
If you are uploading large files--or many files that add up to a large total size--to a library, you may get errors due to the file size limit in SharePoint or timeout errors in your version of Internet Explorer.
Steps you can take to get around these errors include:
  • Upload 100 or fewer files. Uploading more than 100 files at a time is not supported.
  • Avoid uploading files larger than 250 MB, which is the maximum file size by default.
  • If your organization maintains an on-premises deployment of SharePoint, ask the server administrator to verify or increase the maximum file size limit to accommodate the size of the files you are uploading. The default size limit is 250 MB, but it can be increased.
  • For file sizes exceeding 2 GB, if you see a "Working on it" message that never goes away, follow the instructions in Microsoft Support: Internet Explorer error "connection timed out" when server does not respond.
