Searching for the the term “keylogger software” on Google yields many results, most of which offer software for logging user’s keystrokes. With them even the most novice hacker can build software capable of monitoring the user’s activity. Despite usual protection methods like encrypted pages and encrypted links to host websites and encryption keys offered by banks and other institutions, keys typed on the keyboard can be detected and transmitted away long before any of this information is encrypted in the user’s computer.
The software can be programmed to watch when users go to specific websites, such as eBay, banks, PayPal, or anywhere sensitive personal information can be obtained. After that the software begins transmitting all the keystrokes to the attacker’s website. BizFormBar helps users manage passwords, automatically fills out forms and protects against unauthorized access while they are away from their computer by encrypting all of the user’s sensitive data. With this toolbar users can pop up a virtual keyboard and type in data that’s sent directly to the encrypted page. Each time this keyboard is launched, the keys are scrambled, making monitoring the keyboard virtually impossible. The software targets both business and home users and has the ability to safely enter data without the fear of losing their sensitive usernames and passwords to keyloging software.
PBHLLC, a developer of online marketing software announced a new upgrade for this toolbar recently. Carl Perkins, President of PBHLLC stated: "We believe that the addition of the anti-keylogger virtual keyboard to BizForm Bar adds a very useful and unique feature. We believe that the BizForm Bar should be a standard feature with all security encryption keys and secure encryption schemes. We hope that banks and other institutions who provide encryption keys to their customers make the BizForm Bar the mandatory entry method for critical information such as account numbers, usernames and passwords."
The toolbar also brings a suite of useful tools to manage the sensitive data online, including the ability to search the search engine of their choice directly from the toolbar, conveniently make or receive Skype calls directly from their browser, and watch streaming business TV channels like CSPAN and Bloomberg TV.
