Cascading Style Sheet [.css] is so hazardous 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.

CSS is a plain ascii text file, which isn't executed but read by the browser. The only "hazardous" thing you can do with CSS is to make your own website look bad if you don't use it properly. -- Brian Cryer www.cryer.co.uk/brian
