Key Logging
Make sure it is safe to type your password
Key logging is used by internet fraudsters to capture your password, PIN or other sensitive information you type into the computer. Software programs or small hardware devices can be programmed to record which keys you type. Once the fraudsters collect your security details, they might try to use them for their own financial gain.
