Kernel-Level Keylogger Attack
A kernel-level keylogger attack is when a person or program uses special tools to secretly monitor and record the keys you press on your computer. This is a very bad thing because it means someone else could see all of your passwords, bank account numbers, and other private information.
The “kernel” is like the core of your computer’s operating system, controlling everything that happens on it. A keylogger that operates at the kernel level has a lot of power to do bad things because it can bypass security measures that are meant to protect you.
To protect yourself, it’s important to be very careful about what programs you install on your computer and to keep your operating system and antivirus software up to date. You should also be careful about typing sensitive information into public computers or devices that you don’t own, because someone could have installed a keylogger on them.
In short, be careful and stay safe!
