Ha ha, hah ah ahahahhah... Mac Security.  trance2tec | 08/03/09
Any computer is vulnerable to this, not just macs  ChiperSoft | 08/03/09
Dependent upon the keyboard having the vector  Patanjali | 08/03/09
Correct.  phatkat | 08/04/09
The question is getting the keyboard hacked in the first place.  vulpine@... | 08/04/09
What about coming from the factory that way?..  JCitizen | 08/04/09
Good point...  vulpine@... | 08/04/09
Thank you vulpine...  JCitizen | 08/05/09

Your usual uninformed reply  DeusExMachina | 08/04/09
...still 10 times more secure than MS...  MarkCD3 | 08/31/09
Doesn't this require physical access to the keyboard?  ChiperSoft | 08/03/09
No it does not require physical access  georgeou | 08/03/09
No, it requires physical or root access  Resuna | 08/03/09
The point is that it survives cleanup of the host computer  Patanjali | 08/03/09
Yes, exactly!...  JCitizen | 08/04/09
You over-estimate the use of digital signatures.  Bruizer | 08/04/09
Here is a link to a better read on it...  i8thecat | 08/04/09

If it had stopped the fake update..  JCitizen | 08/05/09
What does that have to do with anything?  UAC nanny screen | 08/06/09
Perhaps, but I still can see the senario..  JCitizen | 08/07/09
Well you keep going off on tangents...  UAC nanny screen | 08/07/09
It has everything to do with PC security...  JCitizen | 08/10/09
Others were speculating ...  JCitizen | 08/05/09
So?  DeusExMachina | 08/06/09
This keyboard chip is in more than one..  JCitizen | 08/07/09
And again, it is irrelevant  DeusExMachina | 08/08/09
