Keyloggers
Keyloggers, I'm quite you know what they are and what they do. They are passive software that take up less than 1 mb of RAM. So they won't take up too much power to run.
Ways to protect yourself...
Follow these methods and you can almost guarantee that your password won't be stolen:
- Check for "https://" instead of "http://"
- Be observant of your URL link "https://www.gmail.com" vs "http://www.gmails.com"
- Use strong passwords with a mix of special characters and numbers and numerics. Also, don't use words found in the dictionary. They can be too easily cracked.
- Encrypt your keystrokes to prevent any undetected keyloggers running in the background, one software that does that can be found here: Click Here (If you want a free version, I might post it once I get enough subscribers and views)
- Do not use the keyboard order as passwords (eg: qwerty, asdfg ect...)
- Do not enter your personal information for passwords
- Words spelled backwards, spelling mistakes on purpose as such for passwords.
This is the most you can do on your own accord. Also look out for the lock here:
