  Are the security cameras trained on the screen or the keyboard?

      And would you know if they just recorded the keys your fingers pressed? I think Jakob is really onto something here.

        They could record the sound of the keypresses too. They may be impossible to discriminate subjectively, but they all have a distinct signature...
