"Catch this, a keylogger is a covert tool, either a software program or hardware device, recording every single keystroke you make. Yes, it slyly captures your passwords, credit card details, private messages, and other sensitive data. They can infiltrate computers, smartphones, and tablets. Divided into two types, we have software keyloggers, stealthily installed via malicious links, attachments, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. Then we have hardware keyloggers, physical devices either plugged or internally installed, and they are trickier to spot. Keyloggers work by recording keystrokes, storing this data in a concealed file or a remote server, and then accessed by the installer to pilfer personal information or monitor activity. But fear not, you can detect keyloggers. Use reliable antivirus, anti-spyware software, check for unusual activity like slow performance, new programs, or altered settings. Monitor your network activity for unusual traffic, and consider using a virtual keyboard. And to shield yourself, install reputable antivirus, anti-spyware software, keep your software updated, be wary of unknown attachments or suspicious links, avoid public computers for sensitive tasks, use robust passwords, change them often, and consider two-factor authentication for sensitive accounts. Stay alert, stay safe."
