secure from Phishing Hacking and Keylogger
Internet Phishing involves criminals masquerading as trustworthy entities to acquire sensitive user information. Hackers use software to create fake websites mimicking legitimate sites, then use URL shorteners to send phishing links. Users who click the links and enter information enable the hacker to access their accounts. Keyloggers secretly record keyboard input to steal usernames, passwords and other private details. People can avoid phishing by being wary of unsolicited links and calls, using strong passwords, and keeping software up to date.

The device works with any PS/2 keyboard and is not dependant on the operating system because there is not any software required for the manufacture to product to interact with the hardware. The KeyKatcher records up to 32,000 bytes (keystrokes) in the 33k model or 64,000 bytes (key strokes) in the 64k model. Even if the device is unplugged from the keyboard it will still remember EVERYTHING and you wont lose a single keystroke.
