The fact that victims report experiencing these issues after browsing legitimate, popular sites, suggests that malicious Flash is the culprit. The attackers are probably using the setClipboard() method within ActionScript embedded in Flash content. Maybe the attackers have poisoned some ad-stream as a way of hitting large volumes of users?
