I guess you all heard about keyboard listners. For those who don't know: these program record every character you type on your keyboard. Ideal to get some passwords .
Right now, some other way to listen to some keyboards is luring around the corner: wireless keyboards (especially Logitech's keyboards).
So if you want to be a safe keyboard user don't use a wireless keyboard!
Quoted:
German security firm Daten-Treuhand.de, warned security-conscious users to avoid Logitech's wireless mouse and keyboard, even though there have been no real-world hacking attempts. |
Axel Hammer of Daten-Treuhand.de warned that the devices use a fixed set of codes transmitted by RF. A hacker need only press a connect button on the receiver and on the wireless devices to find a matching and undistorted transmit code.
Thanx to Brinta for the submit!
Well I just keep my wireless mouse. They can listen what they want
