Anyone care to prove us wrong and open up a huge can of civil rights violations? Quoting: IntoTheLight Are you sure every machine running windows since 1994 hasn't been wiretapped, by design, and that EVERY piece of DATA on the internet has been saved and copied? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 45934053 Philippines 08/28/2013 10:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Dell keylogger conspiracy hoax Quoting: IntoTheLight by Ryan Block, posted Jun 16th 2005 at 8:08PM Just in case you've seen that web page floating around implicating Dell in some wacked out government conspiracy by suggesting they fit a 4mb keylogger between the keyboard end of some guy's 600m and the Ethernet adapter, we'd like to point out a few key bits, having been inside a Dell laptop or forty. Dell laptop keyboards plug directly into the motherboard with a ribbon cable He was inside to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard? Uh, that's a guaranteed next-day mobo replacement on a "almost brand new Dell 600m"—not that you could, but why bother even if you knew how and had spare laptop motherboard parts? We've never seen a zip-tied circuit board in professionally assembled machine That device is far too massive to fit under the mobo of a Dell laptop Awful blurry picture of where it's at in the machine! Sorry dude, but we're calling major, major BS on this. Anyone care to prove us wrong and open up a huge can of civil rights violations? Update: Looks like the hoaxster pulled the images from here. [Thanks, scim] [link to www.engadget.com] Hah! The brand new Dell 600M was kind of a dead give-away. When did that particular model come out, 2005? |

User ID: 18931955 United States 02/27/2021 10:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was opening up my almost brand new Dell 600m laptop, to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard. As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed a small cable running from the keyboard connection underneath a piece of metal protecting the motherboard. Quoting: Mr. Blurred Line 21548336 I figured "No Big Deal", and continued with the dissasembly. But when I got the metal panels off, I saw a small white heatshink-wrapped package. Being ever-curious, I sliced the heatshrink open. I found a little circuit board inside. Being an EE by trade, this piqued my curiosity considerably. On one side of the board, one Atmel AT45D041A four megabit Flash memory chip. On the other side, one Microchip Technology PIC16F876 Programmable Interrupt Controller, along with a little Fairchild Semiconductor CD4066BCM quad bilateral switch. Looking further, I saw that the other end of the cable was connected to the integrated ethernet board. What could this mean? I called Dell tech support about it, and they said, and I quote, "The intregrated service tag identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information." He then hung up. A little more research, and I found that that board spliced in between the keyboard and the ethernet chip is little more than a Keyghost hardware keylogger. The reasons Dell would put this in thier laptops can only be left up to your imagination. It would be very impractical to hand-anylze the logs, and very CPU-intensive to do so on a computer for every person that purchased a dell laptop. Why are these keyloggers here? I recently almost found out. I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me in my laptop is a serious offense. They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security. At this point, I am in disbelief. Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my laptop? It was surreal. So I called them, and they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act request. This is what I got back: Click link to see pics and the response letter from DHS... [link to virus.org.ua] Your link is broken, OP.

Thus Microsoft can never lock you out of your Windows 10 installation or worse... send a SWAT team to eliminate you in real life for having what Microsoft considers "illegal software" and/or anything else that Microsoft deems you should never have.
