i'd like to see the actual conditions and keyboards tested of this test
or if they're just "researchers" jumping on the bandwagon so they can make the news
if anything the fact the keyboards cant be updated wirelessly is a security feature
tbh would they even be able to use that info assuming they found it / did it / actually stayed long enough to record enough?

Mouse snooping/injecting? No. Pretty much useless
Keyboard snooping? Somewhat. You can check for URLs and things typed immediately after URL->Enter as possible login informations, but it is [b]incredibly[/b] indeterministic and hard to sort out without any context.

If you are monitoring the keystrokes and see something like:
[quote] dont think [email]so.Ihatewires@yahoo.comwir[/email]esr4fags37Hi Bob I got my new keyboard lol, blah blah blah....[/quote]
This is assuming they have to sign in to their email but if they did someone will be able to catch it like this

It would also be pretty easy to just search the list of keystrokes for 16 numbers in a row (for Visa CC) and the following numbers after and have a possible creditcard info.

Keyloggers have been around so long that assuming you snooped the info accurately, there's probably loads of pre-written software to dig through the data. This "news" really isn't news though, this has been known since somewhere around when the dinosaurs died. Logitech, famous for producing the shittiest wireless devices known to man, had mountains of issues back in the day when they tried to produce an encrypted wireless keyboard. It constantly fucked up, preventing it from working or sending the wrong keys.
