The NYT has an article suggesting keystroke-logging is going to be the latest PC security threat. I have actually been surprised it hasn't been a big problem before now--this could be the avian flu of trojan horse problems. Biometrics, anyone? (I believe a thumbprint scanner would be immune to software-based keystroke logging. I think it would be theoretically susceptible to hardware-based interception, but that is much less of a worry.)
