PETALING JAYA: Over 460 HP laptop models have a hidden keylogger that, if activated, will allow a hacker to record every single keystroke the user makes, including user names and passwords.

The keylogger was discovered in HP’s Synaptics Touchpad driver which makes the keyboard work, and models as far back as 2012 are affected, including EliteBook, Spectre Pro, Pavilion, ZBook and Omen.
