Keylogger is the program, what will record the push of the keyboard buttons and that would allow the hackers to get passwords and other private stuff. That program can use the Internet to send that data, or it can record it and store it to USB-stick, what is put in the back of the computer. The local storage is always visible for the user, and if somebody has left USB to the computer, that thing must be removed before use.


The local storage is suitable in cases, where the hacker has access to the room, where the computer, what is under observation locates. And when the hacker would stop the eavesdropping, must this person just remove the USB stick and keylogger from the computer. But what if the keylogger would send the data to the Internet. One of the best way to avoid that observation and minimize the damages. This means that the public computers would just be used for public purposes, and personal data like bank Saldo must be checked from own computer.


In this case of the security solution that workplaces computers are used only for work, and the things, what the user can show even in the evening news. The reason for spying on the workers might be that the bosses want to know, what the workers are talking about them, but sometimes the purpose of the eavesdropping is just showing the superiority for other people who work as their henchmen.  But the keylogger can be misleading very easily. One of the best ways is the naping couple of extra letters ahead of the password, or write password a couple of times wrong, and that would confess, that the user would not access to some databases, what are interesting for some hackers.


Extra letters and false passwords can give the signal for the hackers, that the user has the memory problems, and if the keylogger has been set by the employer. In this scenario, the security chief would call the worker to the office, and tell that there are many errors in the passwords. And after that, this boss tells that the worker should go home and find a new job, and then he would uncover the secret that every computer in this company have been observed.  And that would be very nice to know.
