Keylogger Authors Manage To Infect Themselves 16 Different Times

Posted by timothy on from the ok-but-let's-not-ever-say-skids-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Last summer someone created and dumped the source code of a keylogger called KeyBase. Since then, hackers have been churning out their own versions, but as you'd expect, skids would play with it too. Palo Alto researchers found the (unprotected) Web panels of some of these keyloggers, and discovered screenshots of the hackers' computers. Some of them even had dating pics.

      It's short for "script kiddies". What are you even doing here?

      I don't keep tabs on what the hep-cats are calling script kiddies, because I don't give a damn.
