Re: [Trisquel-users] Basic security questions

The firmware on keyboards and hard drives isn't loaded into them, it sits on  
a ROM somewhere. The point is, keyboards are typically only connected to a  
plug that allows the key input to be read by the system. With this setup,  
maybe the keyboard is keylogging, but it can only send the data where it's  
supposed to send it, so spyware functionality on that level isn't physically  
possible. Something with a direct connection to the wireless card would have  
to do it.
