New technology, a keylogger found in HP laptop
News24xx.com - A security researcher found a keylogger stored in the software contained in more than 460 types of Hewlett Packard (HP) laptops.
The name of the security researcher is Michael Myng. According to him, the keylogger is not directly active. However, it will still interfere with the privacy of users when there are bad people who have physical access to the laptop.
Myng himself found this problem while looking for a keyboard backlight setting on an HP laptop.
This keylogger is hidden in the SynTP.sys keyboard driver that opens using IDA, as quoted from Tech Crunch on Wednesday December 13 2017.
There are several lines of code inside the driver software that looks like a hidden keylogger. For information, keylogger is a program that can record every typing done on a keyboard.
Fortunately, according to Myng, HP quickly respond to information from it.
When Myng notifies this problem to HP, the manufacturer immediately confirms this issue (which is actually a trace debug) and releases a software update that deletes the keylogger.
