We Dont Believe In Hacking or In Such Type Of Illegal Work..So We Would Like To Tell How How To Be Safe!
I guess most of the people know what a keylogger is, but I´ll make a short introduction for those who don´t.
A keylogger is a program like a virus, when it infects your computer it remains hidden everytime you turn it on. Everything looks ok but the keylogger is there working, registering all your keystrokes and sending all the info to the "hacker". Then it´s not really so difficult to steal passwords from other people´s computers using this kind of programs. And you´ll notice nothing unusual until you login to your e-gold account and see all your money has magically vanished, or try to login to your 12DP account and get the "Incorrect login" message... or something worse, who knows!
Now this is the interesting thing: you can use your "own" security system, similar to that used by banks, just intalling a "virtual keyboard"/"On-Screen Keyboard" program. When you run this kind of programs, you´ll see a virtual keyboard on your screen, so you can "click" your passwords instead of typing them.
In fact I think these programs were designed as an accessibility tool, you know, for people with some kind of physical deficiency who are not able to type, but we can give it a very different application.
Of course "clicking" a password is slower than typing, but it´s much more secure, and there is no keylogger able to track your passwords that way! (as far as I know at least).
