Description: A keylogger attack is a malicious technique that involves the use of software or hardware designed to record a user’s keystrokes without their knowledge. This type of attack is primarily used to gather sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. The covert nature of keyloggers makes them effective tools for cybercriminals, as they can operate undetected for long periods, allowing them to accumulate a large amount of data before security measures are taken. Protection against such attacks involves not only the implementation of antivirus and antimalware software but also educating users about best security practices, such as verifying the authenticity of websites and using two-factor authentication.
