One important thing to note is that this functionality is also available through Flash. So, anyone who has Flash enabled has already been vulnerable to this.

We haven't seen anything terribly bad happen with the Flash implementation.

But if we are going to provide a modern, standard API, then we better make it right.

A possible attack scenario could be showing a certain Bitcoin address but copying a different one to your clipboard.

You try to copy a Bash snippet and it gives you something very dangerous instead when you paste...
