Nexus 9.1 For Sale. One Careful Owner
For those with HP laptops there is yet another built-in key logger vulnerability, this time geared towards its Synaptics Touchpad.
The driver itself is disabled by default and can only be activated by a registry tweak via a piece of malware or other remote virus. Once enabled a hacker may be able to detect key logging activity.
Almost 500 of their laptop models going back as far as 2012 are affected.
A patch is available via HP directly (HPSBHF03564 rev 1 - Synaptics Touchpad Driver Potential, Local Loss of Confidentiality | HP® Customer Support) or the next Windows update.
