Another day, another data leak discovered... This time 31 million users' personal details including phone number, name, device & network details, SMS number, email addresses, social media profiles & location...
"It raises the question of why a keyboard & emoji app needs to gather the entire data of the user’s phone." 🤔

    Keylogger Found in Audio Driver of HP Laptops
    
    from BleepingComputer
    
    The audio driver installed on some HP laptops includes a feature that could best be described as a keylogger, which records all the user's keystrokes and saves the information to a local file, accessible to anyone or any third-party software or malware that knows where to look.
