| Oct 5, 2011 at 15:45 | comment | added | Mithras | I just want to say that some years ago, before the iPad came out, I saw (ignorant) American tourists in Paris accessing their bank accounts on the provided computers at an internet cafe, and this was a cyber cafe where when I burned a CDROM I later found some malware "folders" added that were actually .exe's with icons that looked like folders. These tourists would have been 10 times safer buying a laptop and using that via Wifi. Of course these days people just bring iPads with them traveling. Much more convenient. But I still pity those tourists. My 2 cents. | |

I think the keylogger term got too popular compared to the alternative methods to obtain your password which don't involve logging keys at all. In fact, there is now a trend of calling unrelated trojans and viruses as "keylogger". Just keep in mind that the easiest way to get a specific password doesn't involve logging any keys.
