How is that even remotely a surprise? You should assume any computer you don't own is keylogged, period.

- UweSchmidt 12y agoThat's good advice. However, as "Who is surprised!" has become a standard meme in security/privacy related threads, I want to point out a few things that may be interesting: - the actual extend of the threat (numbers?) - the extend to which the general public has come to terms with this problem - the reactions around the web and proposed solutions ("use this kiosk linux distro") - discussion of similar/related threats (like "also watch for public wifi")
- tribaal 12y agoYes, you're right. There is some value in repeating the information - but I assumed most people on hackernews would know about this already. It would be great to re-hash the information to the general public, however.

- programmer_dude 12y agoWhy the downvotes? Do you disagree?
- mturmon 12y agoProbably because carping about word choice diverts the conversation, with no benefit in this case because the meaning was clear. Please stop.
