Awareness is key
Why is it that the truly important news items are buried to page 6? (hint: “consumer confidence”)
Consider this buried item: A $10 USB charger with built-in wireless keylogger means more security headaches
“Think that keeping hackers out of your digital fortress is already hard work, or that that BYOD is a security timebomb waiting to blow up in your face? Well, here’s something new for you to worry about – a $10 USB charger that features a built-in wireless keylogger.” Read more..
I mean.. really think about that.
Kinda changes the meaning behind “built in China”, doesn’t it? (But, you should have known that if you noticed the “infected digital picture frames” stories from a few years back.)

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
