There are some scary news lately (July 2020), that there are many apps (on iOS) snooping on clipboard data.


It's not just TikTok - another 53 iOS apps will snatch your clipboard data


They might even be coming from seemingly legitimate applications (like news apps) from App Store.

iOS is scrambling to make a fix right now, and targeting release on iOS 14.


I'm wondering if we have any protection in Windows 10? I'm unable to find any good information on Internet.

Thanks.


e.g.

Does Windows Security (aka Defender) detect if an app monitor and snoop on Clipboard ?

Is there anyway we can only whitelist certain number of apps to allow for access to clipboard ?


Any other ways to mitigate this risk on Windows 10 ?
