| | Privacy | Keystroke Logging Increases, Security Firm Says |
 | | Hackers are likely to release more than 6000 keylogging programs this year--up 65 percent from the number in 2004--according to Reston, Virginia, security vendor iDefense. |
| | Such software illegally records every keystroke pressed on a victim's PC and then transmits the data to the hacker, making it an effective way to snoop out confidential information such as user names and passwords. |
| | Organized cybercrime groups commonly send keyloggers to unsuspecting victims via e-mail, often in combination with spyware, phishing e-mail, or some other type of malicious software, the security company said. |
