Thread Name: BS: How Paranoid Are We
Subject: RE: BS: How Paranoid Are We
I was the Guest 3rd down, in by the back door.
Mack, specifically I was wondering if a keystroke logger could record passwords, customer numbers etc., even recognise them as such. I know little about software, as JohniK knows from correspondence, but it seems to me that every time I type a password, it goes in a box. All the worm would have to do was record everything that goes in a box, count the digits, and go on from there.
Paranoia? My boy, such paranoia you never saw....!

See the news? Symantec was also putting root-kit trojens in their stuff, as well as were some parental-control programs. Worrying.
