| 409895 | 2005-12-04 03:58:00 | In regard to keyloggers: Just a question is there any advantage to using a virtual keyboard when entering passwords, credit card details etc as information is entered via mouse clicks not key strokes | tadad (9351) | ||
| 409896 | 2005-12-04 04:18:00 | It probably is better, but no as good as you may think. read this (www.cerberus-network.com) Once your machine is "owned" they just resort to screenshots. They (hackers) could also be spying on the Windows messages that are happening when an application talks to Windows. And if someone who had control of your machine (i.e. a level above have a keylogger installed), would probably just look at your browsing habits and do something like create a local copy of your bank's website. Also note that some applications transmit their passwords across a network in an unencrypted state .. e.g. POP email accounts. |
