- blinkingled 16y agoOf course :) On the other hand, security is about putting as many deterrents as practically possible - nothing can be 100% secure. So to that extent it is still better to have measures like on screen keyboard than not. And then even if you somehow perfected the on-screen keyboard to not give out screenshots - there is always browser based malware that can send your session or creds to the attacker without bothering about keylogging!
- shrikant 16y agoI've played around with a few, and imho most of the common ones easily available on public torrent trackers have the ability to take screenshots on mouseclicks, with a nice little animation pointing out where the mouse pointer was when the click event happened too. 'Keystroke' logs include text, pictures and even videos in these toolkits. Basically if you've been taken over by keystroke logging malware, it'd be safest to assume that everything on the machine's been compromised.
