HP laptops found to have hidden keylogger
Hidden software that can record every letter typed on a computer keyboard has been discovered pre-installed on hundreds of HP laptop models. Security researcher Michael Myng found the keylogging code in software drivers preinstalled on HP laptops to make the keyboard work. Mr Myng discovered the keylogger while inspecting Synaptics Touchpad software, to figure out how to control the keyboard backlight on an HP laptop. In May, a similar keylogger was discovered in the audio drivers pre-installed on several HP laptop models. At the time, the company said the keylogger code had been mistakenly added to the software.
