Subject: Most common keystroke loggers?

This thread is fascinating...but a bit misguided.  Consider that somone's
home computer in the US is used for their finances (e.g. Quicken), tax
returns, and other applications.  Think of the wealth of identity-related
information in those applications.  If the computer is compromised, the
identity-related information can be stolen without regard to tokens,
biometrics, separate USB hash creators, or any other device.

* if the home computer is 0wned, it's game over *.

Now if the computer is not 0wned, then the other controls can be very useful
in verifying identities and mitigating the risk of fraudulent transactions.

I suggest we re-evaluate the issue
_assuming_the_computer_is_not_compromised.
