Keywatcher
This small device (less than 50mm long) plugs into the back of your computer and is powered by the computer. It will store up to 65,000 characters of text (typically between 40 and 50 pages) which can be recalled by simply typing in a changeable password. The non-volatile memory means that this unit is fully portable and as such it can be moved to any computer where the stored information can be read.
Available at a cost of approximately 107 UK pounds from spycatcheronline, this device has various pros and cons.
Pros
- Can be used for spying on the activities of suspicious looking employees or suspected hackers (in bank sector or call center) without their knowledge to gather evidence before raising the alarm.
