  These keyloggers use application programming interfaces (APIs) to monitor keystrokes.

• Memory-Injecting Keyloggers

  These keyloggers inject malicious code into the memory processes of a computer system.

• Form Grabbing Keyloggers

Dangers of Keyloggers

Keyloggers pose significant risks to individuals and organizations. They can capture sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal messages. This information can be used for identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to personal accounts and corporate accounts of all sorts like email usernames and passwords, bank account usernames and passwords, etc. Additionally, keyloggers can be used to spy on individuals, violating their privacy and potentially leading to blackmail or other forms of exploitation. Some keyloggers today can capture photos and videos on the user's screen periodically which are regularly sent to the hacker or cyber criminals who can later blackmail the user for money or favors.

Understanding a Keylogger

A keylogger, also known as a keystroke logger, is a type of spyware that records the keystrokes made on a computer or mobile device. This means it captures everything you type, including passwords, credit card numbers, personal messages, and other sensitive information. Keyloggers can be used for both legitimate purposes, such as parental monitoring or employee surveillance, and malicious purposes, such as identity theft and fraud. Sometimes a spouse may use a Keylogger to monitor their partners. And sometimes even governments employ keyloggers to monitor politicians and citizens.

Types of Keyloggers

Keyloggers come in various forms, each with its own method of capturing keystrokes:

• Hardware Keyloggers

  These are physical devices that are plugged into the computer between the keyboard and the computer. They capture keystrokes directly from the keyboard. Most people do not know about Hardware Keyloggers. Watch this video to understand how Hardware Keyloggers are used and how dangerous the hardware keylogger could be. Anyone could do it to your PC keyboard like your Company to monitor employees, some investigation agency, on public computers like those in internet cafe or even a friend or spouse to monitor or even steal your data, without your knowledge or consent.
