Everyone knows Russia started to mess electronically with the Good Ole
USofA just before the 2016 Presidential Election. Why did they all of a sudden
get so brazen?
I don’t like having people who are ill informed reading my silliness. If you were in agreement as you read through the above paragraph, maybe my blog is not for you. May I recommend People Magazine or Comic Books?
First of all, you are way off with your thinking that Russia started electronically meddling in the last 3 years. How much way off? Don’t get your feelings hurt because you have a lot of other people believing this 3 years estimate but you and your other people are about 40 Years Off.
Ø A Keylogger is a particularly insidious type of Spyware that can record and steal consecutive keystrokes (and much more) that users enter on a device.
Ø Using a Keylogger can allow Cyber Criminals to eavesdrop through your System Camera or through your Smartphone’s Microphone or through your Keyboards.
Do you remember the Typewriter? Go a step further. Do you
remember the IBM Selectric Typewriter? The Russians started meddling with the
IBM Selectric Typewriter in the Mid-1970s.
Way back then Soviet spies developed an amazingly clever hardware Keylogger that targeted IBM Selectric typewriters in the US Embassy and Consulate buildings in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Once installed, the Keyloggers measured the barely detectable changes in each typewriter’s regional magnetic field as the print head rotated and moved to type each letter.
In those days we were smarter than Russians because we figured out what they were doing and we thwarted their sneaky efforts by opting to use manual typewriters rather than electric ones for typing classified information.
We showed them. We made them crawl back into their dark places and say to their collective selves, “Selves, those Americans sure are smart! We are never going to ever try that kind of sneaky thing again!”...Or were they going to not?
Would I kid u?

still reading this Blog Posting, allow me to update your apparent limited
knowledge of Russian Electronic Meddling with the Good Ole USofA. First of all, you are way off with your thinking that Russia started electronically meddling in the last 3 years. How much way off?

Do you know what a Keylogger is? If not you are about to get
a very brief education on Keyloggers...Ø A Keylogger is a particularly insidious type of Spyware that can record and steal consecutive keystrokes (and much more) that users enter on a device.
