Is there any malware that can steal the content of the clipboard?.
E.g. say you have a text file with say private info or passwords, and you copy this data to paste on say another text file on a flash drive. Are there any malware that can get that copied data and transmit it over the net ?
Yes. It can be done with Javascript too. The beef-xss toolkit has an attack which facilitates this. https://github.com/beefproject/beef/tree/master/modules/host/clipboard_theft
