Question

Briefly explain two threats that may arise due to a keylogger installed on a computer.

Short Note

Solution

A keylogger keeps track of everyday keyboard use and can submit the information to a third party. Passwords, emails, confidential calls, and other confidential and personal information may be exposed to an unauthorized party in this manner without the user's knowledge. In addition, a keylogger can be used in conjunction with other malware, such as spyware, to obtain unauthorized access to a device, which can be used to damage the party.
