Do you have THIS on your keyboard ???
GOVERNMENT AND COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS CAUGHT INSTALLING HARD-WIRED
KEYSTROKE LOGGERS INTO ALL NEW LAPTOP COMPUTERS!
Devices capture everything you ever type,
then can send it via your ethernet card
to the Dept. of Homeland Security without your knowledge,
consent or a search warrant each time you log onto the internet!
Freedom Of Information Act Requests
For Explanation From DHS, REFUSED.
I was opening up my almost brand new laptop, to replace
a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard.
As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed a small cable
running from the keyboard connection
underneath a piece of metal protecting the motherboard.
I figured "No Big Deal", and continued with the dissasembly.
But when I got the metal panels off,
I saw a small white heatshink-wrapped package.
Being ever-curious, I sliced the heatshrink open.
I found a little circuit board inside.
Being an EE by trade, this piqued my curiosity considerably.
On one side of the board,
- one Atmel AT45D041A four megabit Flash memory chip.-
On the other side, one
- Microchip Technology PIC16F876 Programmable Interrupt Controller -,
along with a little
- Fairchild Semiconductor CD4066BCM quad bilateral switch.-
Looking further, I saw that the other end of the cable
was connected to the integrated ethernet board.
What could this mean?
I called the manufacturer's tech support about it,
and they said, and I quote,
"The intregrated service tag identifier is there
for assisting customers in the event of lost
or misplaced personal information."
He then hung up.
A little more research, and I found that that board
spliced in between the keyboard and the ethernet chip
is little more than a Keyghost Hardware Keylogger.
The reasons a computer manufacturer would put this
in their laptops can only be left up to your imagination.
It would be very impractical to hand-anylze the logs,
and very CPU-intensive to do so on a computer for every person
that purchased a laptop. Why are these keyloggers here?
I recently almost found out.
I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me
in my laptop is a serious offense.
They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security.
At this point, I am in disbelief.
Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my laptop?
It was surreal.
