Thanks. I didn't post my reply to Jim's message on this list - only on the GoldMoney list. Let me make up for that by repeating my comments here too. These days people use commercial monitoring programs - they type bosses use to spy on staff - since virus scanners can't complain about a legit program. They look at so much of what you do, including your clipboard, that the old drag and drop from a file is no safer than typing. Anyhow, onto what I said on GoldMoney... ---------- > Your typical keystroke logger can't do two things. First, it > cannot do anything about data in the clipboard (Windows and > MacIntosh products both use a clipboard for temporary storage > of text or other data). Not in my experience. Any trojan I've run across in the past few years has clipboard monitoring too. I think it's dangerous of people to think that they are safe because they have a file with the alphabet in it and they drag and drop letters. That's why I like the CryptoCard that e-bullion and has and to a lesser degree the PIK thing Pecunix has. Given enough monitored access attempts, one can learn all the character positions in a PIK - nice idea, but it's really just delaying the patient hacker. With the CryptoCard your response is always different - well, there are 100,000,000 responses, but that's a fair whack. Anyway, that's just my take.
