Keylogger

A keylogger, sometimes known as keystroke logging software, is a surveillance tool that allows hackers to record user inputs. For personal benefit, hackers employ keyboard recording software and hardware keyloggers to record and access sensitive information such as bank account passwords, private keys, and other personal information from victims.

Hardware keyloggers are divided into three categories:

• Keystrokes were visually monitored using hidden camera loggers.
• USB-loaded keyloggers that infect a computer with keystroke logger malware.
• Hardware keyloggers for the keyboard that are either built-in or linked to a device through a cable.

By capturing private keys from crypto wallets or logging exchange passwords, keyloggers may be used to steal digital currency from users. This danger may be readily reduced by utilizing a hardware wallet and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) in exchange accounts, which is supported by the majority of large crypto exchanges.
