Samsung Electronics is investigating allegations that some models of its R Series laptops contain keylogging software.



From PCWorld:

Samsung spokesman Jason Redmond said that his company is looking into Hassan's allegations. "We take these claims very, very seriously," he said. He had not previously heard of the problem, or heard of de Willebois Consulting, the company that makes the StarLogger software that Hassan said he found on the laptop. "We have no understanding of a relationship with this company and we have no prior knowledge of this software being on our laptops," he said.

De Willebois Consulting did not respond to messages seeking comment for this story. On its website, the company says StarLogger "is completely undetectable and starts up whenever your computer starts up. See everything being typed: emails, messages, documents, web pages, usernames, passwords, and more." The software can also capture screen images, the website says.
