Nice work! Found hardware keylogger in a DELL laptop.

Read the full story here. DHS denying request under FOIA.

PS: If you read the scanned document closely, you notice the two times 8-digit “file number” which could be a date. If this was state of the art three years ago, what’s the state now? Let me guess, there are a bit more than DELL computers affected? … 🙄

Update: There are claims this was a hoax (from 2005). Let’s hope it was. Read here and here.

The sad part, it is actually not incredible enough to find out it is a hoax immediately. One comment on the first of the links reads:

I can not describe my desire to ridicule people who actually buy into this stupid bullshit. I’m even more outraged at people actually trying to prove other people that this is not said bullshit.

Seriously, what are the chances of someone actually getting away with this?

Well, who would get away with becoming US president without actually getting elected the first time, but getting a second term without being thrown out of office and this time even getting elected (although it also smelled fishy)?
