The development of technology is very fast, especially in the field of Internet technology that at any time experiencing significant changes, The development also supported by the ability of human resources, Keylogger is a tool that most developed because this application is very rarely recognized a malicious program by antivirus, keylogger will record all activities related to keystrokes, the recording process is accomplished by using string matching method. The application of string matching method in the process of recording the keyboard is to help the admin in knowing what the user accessed on the computer.

Copy right Idea Grou p Inc. Copy right Idea Grou p Inc. ABSTRACT This paper examines the use of IT systems such as Proxy Servers, and “Carnivore-Like” technologies to create electronic panopticons for the purpose of monitoring an employee behavior, Internet Use, in the workplace. An electronic panopticon is a device or system that allows for the continuous monitoring of an individual’s behavior. This type of system when badly implemented can cause serious invasions of employee privacy in the workplace. Such privacy invasions are unwelcome and are frequently resisted. Managers should avoid using this control technique except when absolutely necessary due to the possibility of unintended negative effects. Monitoring Internet Use In the Workplace: Caution Is Advised

Malware and botnets pose the greatest risk to computer network systems. These threats include Trojan horses, spyware and keyloggers, all designed to infiltrate systems and obtain information without consent, and much to the detriment of business operation. However, not all threats come from outside of any given business system. It professionals, management, and employees alike must address and work to minimise insider risks caused by those with access to business systems. Human error and misuse of systems can lead to an unsafe system and loss of profit and employment. To counter threats to systems and minimise risk, businesses should be implementing controlled access to their networks and systems via access control, passwords, user control, and data encryption.

Along with the development of increasingly advanced technology, the level of need for information security is very important. With the development of information, new problems arise regarding computer security, an example of computer security that often occurs is data theft. Data security in accessing a computer is a form that must be considered both physically and non-physically. One form of data theft crime is recording traces of a computer keyboard with the help of hardware or software. Keylogger is a data theft technique by recording typing on a computer keyboard, by recording when the computer is entered, intruders can enter and steal it. The purpose of this paper is to understand how keyloggers work so that prevention can be carried out by carrying out various kinds of solutions and also to maintain data security systems and know supporting and anti-keylogger software

Keyloggers or keystroke loggers are software programs or hardware devices that track the activities (keys pressed) of a keyboard. Keyloggers are a form of spyware where users are unaware their actions are being tracked. Keyloggers can be used for a variety of purposes; hackers may use them to maliciously gain access to your private information, while employers might use them to monitor employee activities. Some keyloggers can also capture your screen at random intervals; these are known as screen recorders. Keylogger software typically stores your keystrokes in a small file, which is either accessed later or automatically emailed to the person monitoring your actions. You'll find use of keyloggers in everything from Microsoft products to your own employer's computers and servers. In some cases, your spouse may have put a keylogger on your phone or laptop to confirm their suspicions of infidelity. Worse cases have shown criminals to implant legitimate websites, apps, and even USB drives with keylogger malware. Whether for malicious intent or for legitimate uses, you should be aware how keyloggers are affecting you. First, we'll further define keystroke logging before diving into how keyloggers work. Then you'll be able to better understand how to secure yourself from unwanted eyes. You might find legal keyloggers are in your daily life more than you realized. Fortunately, the power to control your data is often in your hands if the monitoring party has asked for access. Outside of employment, you can simply decline permission to the keyloggers if you so choose.

The roaming user has no reliable way of determining whether it is safe, and has no alternative to typing the password. We describe a simple trick the user can employ that is entirely effective in concealing the password. We verify its efficacy against the most popular keylogging programs.

Microsoft rethinks Recall feature for Copilot after backlash over security

(Credit: Robert – stock.adobe.com)

Microsoft’s upcoming AI-powered Windows “Recall” feature, which takes screenshots of users’ active screen every few seconds, will undergo some changes following backlash from security experts.

The feature received a large amount of criticism from consumers and industry professionals immediately after it was announced on May 20, with Malwarebytes calling it a “built-in keylogger” and software engineer and Web3 critic Molly White calling it “spyware.”

The concerns were compounded by the fact that Recall does not, according to Microsoft, censor sensitive information in the snapshots it takes, such as passwords or financial information. This would potentially make the database of Recall snapshots on a user’s computer a gold mine for hackers, with tons of sensitive data all in one place and easily searchable using the AI-powered search feature.

Microsoft insisted users’ privacy was protected due to all Recall data being stored locally and encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker. The feature, which would be enabled by default on Copilot+ PCs, could also be disabled and configured to not record specific sites and apps.

However, in the weeks since Recall was announced, multiple security pros have put available previews to the test and demonstrated ways the Recall database can be accessed and exploited to steal sensitive data en masse.

For example, Alex Hagenah, head of cyber controls at SIX Group and technical advisory board member at HackerOne, developed a “very simple’ proof-of-concept tool called “TotalRecall,” which copies, searches and extracts information from the Recall database file.

Additionally, James Forshaw, a security research in Google Project Zero, published a blog post about bypassing access control lists, which includes an edit revealing that the Recall database can be accessed by a user without administrative privileges by using a token from the Windows AIXHost.exe process or simply rewriting the discretionary access control list, as the database is considered to be owned by the user.

In response to “customer feedback,” Microsoft announced in a blog post on Friday that Recall would no longer be activated by default, requiring users to opt-in to use the feature. Additionally, users will need to complete the Windows Hello biometric enrollment process to enable Recall, lowering the chance that a hacker could enable it on the machine of a user who had opted out.

Proof of presence through Windows Hello will be required to view the Recall timeline and use the AI-powered search tool, and the snapshots will only be decrypted upon user authentication via Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security, Microsoft said.

“We want to reinforce what has previously been shared from David Weston, vice president of Enterprise and OS Security, about how Copilot+ PCs have been designed to be secure by default,” the blog post stated.

Kevin Beaumont, a security researcher and former senior threat intelligence analyst at Microsoft, who has been a vocal critic of Recall since its announcement, responded positively to the update.

“Turns out speaking up works,” Beaumont wrote on X .

“There are obviously going to be devils in the details – potentially big ones – but there’s some good elements here. Microsoft needs to commit to not trying to sneak users to enable it in the future, and it needs turning off by default in Group Policy and Intune for enterprise orgs,” Beaumont added .
