Windows 10 - Quietly Logging EVERY KEYSTROKE You Type And Sending It To Microsoft(How To Stop It)

Yesterday we reported that an international group of hackers claim they have breached Apple’s iCloud user database and stolen 300 million usernames and passwords. The group has threatened to initiate a widespread factory reset on April 7th, 2017, potentially wiping out data on tens of millions of iPhones and iCloud accounts should Apple fail to pay a ransom.

But that breach by nefarious hackers, while serious, is nothing compared to what your trusted operating system provider may be doing on your personal computer.

According to a recent report, if you are a Windows 10 user then every single keystroke you have ever typed on your computer may have been logged and sent to Microsoft.

You know those nagging questions during the installation process that ask you whether or not you want to “help” improve Windows by sending data to Microsoft? If you happened to answer “yes” to one of these questions, or if you went with the Microsoft default installation, there is a real possibility that everything you have done on your computer from the get-go, including sending “secure” messages (because the keyboard logger captures your keystrokes before they appear in your secure messaging app), is now a part of a massive user database somewhere.

There’s been heaps of controversy associated with Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 10 since it was launched, but the latest issue takes the cake – apparently Windows has been quietly logging every single keystroke users make on their keyboards from the beginning. Even better, that data is being constantly sent to Microsoft’s servers on a regular basis.

It’s been reported that Microsoft has been using the data to improve artificial intelligence writing and grammar software, but it’s not clear what else they are doing with it.

I was being a bit facetious. And it's probably only the small fish they're concerned about. Because it would not surprise to find they've got a deal with the big fish.☺

Gee, I don’t have those settings on my Linux Desktop.

And if any one is still using Win 7 (or - shudder - 8) and is still fighting M$ over the Win10 forced update, you might want to give this a look..

Never 10

I have been off the computer most of the day; what’s all the hub-bub about Win10 eating somebody’s data ..??

I have an errand to run, so no hurry filling me in.

You only “suspect” it?

It has never been in question !!!
