A dude decided to check his laptop’s innards during a repair session and discovered a hidden keylogger within. Read all about his experience in the excerpt below.
What could this mean? I called Dell tech support about it, and they said, and I quote, “The integrated service tag identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information.” He then hung up. I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me in my laptop is a serious offense. They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security. At this point, I am in disbelief. Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my laptop? It was surreal. So I called them, and they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act request.
Well, further probe of the story resulted in realizing that this is old and fake news, but doesn’t that make you curious to know what’s underneath the hood of your notebook?
