What is Key Logging Malware?
Keylogging malware is a malicious form of software that can be secretly installed on your insured’s computers to track personal and sensitive information as it is typed on a keyboard. That information can then be used by the thief for fraud and identity theft. Many senior executive officers handle their personal banking at work and money can be transferred by hackers easily once their credentials are compromised.
Claims Example: Hotel Business Centers
The U.S. Secret Service advised the hospitality industry to inspect computers made available to guests in hotel business centers, warning that crooks have been compromising hotel business center PCs with keystroke-logging malware in a bid to steal personal and financial data from guests. “The suspects were able to obtain large amounts of information including other guest’s personally identifiable information (PII), log in credentials to bank, retirement and personal webmail accounts, as well as other sensitive data flowing through the business center’s computers.”
