Hidden Software On HP Laptop !
Some HP laptops have been accused of installing a preinstalled "Kilger" driver on a new laptop. That is to say, the new HP laptop will be recorded as you do. Switzerland's security research and consulting firm Modgiro warned on Thursday.
Moderator claims, some models of HP laptops have an audio driver installed so that there is a feature like Kilger. It records all keystrokes secretly on the computer's hard drive with unencrypted files. This driver was created by the audio chip maker Constantant. These drivers are loaded on almost two dozen laptops and tablets, including HP EliteBook, Probe, ZD Model.
Keystrokes stored on the hard drive include information on various passwords, private chat messages, and information on different web pages. There is a chance to get this sensitive information from the driver into the computer. This security error has been on HP computer since 2015.
There are no comments made on behalf of the Contactant. HP authorities say they know about the issue. But they do not have the opportunity to enter any customer's information. A HP statement said, 'Our suppliers created software for audio function testing before unsecured product unveiled. But after leaving the market it was not right to be associated with the product. Security problems can be fixed from HP.com.
