He says "This key logger is completely undetectable," which is clearly untrue (he has allegedly detected it).
If it's logging his keystrokes, it's either storing them locally or sending them off somewhere else, or both. If he's as qualified as he says, he should be able to find out which (find a file that increases in size after a lot of keystrokes, use Wireshark...).
- mmazing 16y agoYeah, except Samsung admitted that they installed it in the followup article.
- Bo102010 16y agoI stand corrected, and should have read the followup article. I don't think the Samsung "confirmation" brings me to 50% confidence that Samsung actually was logging and capturing people's keystrokes, though. I would still like to see what the keylogger is actually doing - storing, transmitting, what?

- bennysaurus 16y agoUh no they didn't, this guy has said this is what he was told on a phone call. Samsung has not released a public statement saying this is what they actually do. Without confirmation from anyone else that has a Samsung laptop (have just checked my brother's bought 2 months ago and found nothing) this really should be taken with a grain of salt.
- BrandonM 16y ago> I think a more likely explanation is that his detection software is flagging anything with the path "c:\windows\SL" as malware. "SL" stands for "Samsung Laptop," some manufacturer-specific software?
- smiler 16y agoYou called it =)
- Bo102010 16y agoAccording to http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002133.html http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002133.html , the "SL" path thing was exactly right!
