Keylogger Found in Audio Driver of HP Laptops

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/keylogger-found-in-audio-driver-of-hp-laptops/


Quote:
The audio driver installed on some HP laptops includes a feature that could best be described as a keylogger, which records all the user's keystrokes and saves the information to a local file, accessible to anyone or any third-party software or malware that knows where to look.

Swiss cyber-security firm modzero discovered the keylogger on April 28 and made its findings public today.
and to think that the Lenovo spyware scandal was bad :(

oh well, gives me something to do when I get home I guess :(

I am not surprised at all what is hidden in software, be it computers, mobile phones and even cars that are linked to satallite GPS and internet.

It can only get worse.

It's bad, but I think it's not malicious. I suspect it's debug code left in a release.
