Cascading Style Sheet Is Such An Extreme Hazard To Your Privacy

Cascading Style Sheet [.css] is such an extreme 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.

But it is 16bit mono designed for discerning google groupers such as
yourself.
Matron will be along shortly with your medication.

The user has no control of a Web page in using a CSS, none. They wouldn't
know if a CSS was being used, and it hit them dead in their face.

However, you are correct in that a CSS or XSS attack not to be confused with
Cascading Style Sheets can be ran against as user. But it's up to the
browser, the Web developer, and the Web site to prevent the attack, not the
end user.

[...]

I think you are getting confused with "cross-site scripting" which has
nothing to do with 'cascading style sheets'. The defence against
malicious cross-site scripting being used to 'attack' your system, is to
use a decent web browser, keep it up-to-date, and browse the web with your
brain in gear and your clicking under control.
