    Keylogger Found in Audio Driver of HP Laptops

    The audio driver installed on some HP laptops includes a feature that could best be described as a keylogger, which records all the user's keystrokes and saves the information to a local file, accessible to anyone or any third-party software or malware that knows where to look.

    There is a list of models further down in the article, but the chipset used (Conexant) may be in other manufacturers.
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."

    I've heard of this. What has the world become? That's rhetorical.

    Just laziness by the programmers it appears. We just got an HP contract in our environment too, thankfully the effected systems were only in testing and have been easy to round up. They did have the keylogger file and it was easy to read, so its there.

    Yup, but it helps when you're one of the guys who manages the company system/network too . . .
