Cascading Style Sheet Is Such A Hazard To Your Privacy ||||

Cascading Style Sheet [.css] is such a hazard to your privacy. It
allows others on the internet to see your monitor and files. It allows
them to copy images on your monitor to their computers. It also allows
them to copy files from your computer to their computers. It is
dangerous. Avoid at all costs.

CSS isn't stored in the victim's computer. Instead it is stored in the
perpetrator's computer. What it does is it reads everything on the
victim's screen and checks on the victim's visited web pages and can
even read text from any text or word application being used by the
victim. CSS is not a security risk and does not trick the victim's
computer into sending info to the perpetrator. However, this is an
extreme invasion of the victim's privacy. The victim has no idea that
he/she is being violated. The assailant can read text and see any
pictures that happen to be on the victim's monitor without actually
accessing the victim's computer.

Your computer may not be at all damaged or touched. However, your
confidential information can easily be read by the attacker and anyone
the attacker gives it to. You don't have to download anything, visit
any website, or even use a browser to be attacked. You just need to be
connected to the internet and the attacker can strike you.

Once again, the victim's computer does not store any part of CSS. All
info and software is stored in the assailant's computer.

You really should seek out a trained psychiatric professional.

"Cascading Style Sheets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computing, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used
to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language.
Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and
XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document,
including SVG and XUL. The CSS specifications are maintained by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C). In order to keep CSS standards up to date, it is
recommended that one validates their coding."

We all know that only Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton can see everythiong you
do - it has nothing to do with CSS.

Radium posts in many places on many subjects, and usually the quality
and tone of the posts are about the same as here. He/she has a talent
for getting many irate responses. For instance, see his/her post at
alt.food.wine "My Favorite FANTASTIC Wine! " which got plenty of irate
responses. At least that post was to the correct group, while his CSS
post here would be better suited to a html group rather than a
javascript one.

'been through' might be charitable. Read the brochure, perhaps.

I suppose a spammer could do a similar thing with stylesheet files,
that they do with 1-byte image file web-bugs... Make one unique CSS
file for each spam they send, and check their web server logs to see
which CSS file is accessed, and from that determine which of their
spam messages were read.

Wasn't there also a vulnerability with IE a while back too, related to
CSS files? Some buffer overload with an extra long parameter, if I
remember correctly?

So, even though the original posting is off-base and incorrect, in
todays world, you still always have to be cautious
