Keystroke Logger Faces Federal Wiretap Charges
securitas writes "In what prosecutors say is the first case of its kind, a former insurance claims manager was indicted on federal wiretapping charges for allegedly installing a keystroke logger on another employee's computer. The device was secretly installed 'on a PC used by a secretary to senior executives at Bristol West Insurance Group.' Reuters reports that the man, who had been fired, was gathering information for a class action lawsuit against his former employer. SecurityFocus interviews would-be keystroke logger user Larry Lee Ropp who reportedly installed the KEYKatcher device on the PC."
I couldn't see your email, but it's nice to see someone I haven't seen for a long time (CA face). Darxide
it still picks it up.
Basic human decency. You don't stand over your kid while they're using they're making a bowel movement. You don't stand over them when they're urinating. You don't stand over them while they're showering.
Even more to the point, if you're like most parents, you don't stand over your kid when they're studying, or reading, or playing baseball or basketball or even watching TV. You're not standing watchfully at their shoulder when they go to the library or to the mall. If you're like most armchair parents you basically ignore your kid except when you want to interrogate them.
What message do you honestly think you're sending by intensely scrutinizing them when they sit at a computer? You're indirectly telling them that the computer is the most important part of their life. Then you want to moan and complain around the water cooler that they don't take in interest in the things that you did when you were a child.
You figure it out.
