Rampant cordless keyboard strikes again

Hewlett-Packard Norway will no longer guarantee the security of their
cordless keyboards after several incidents in which keyboards beamed their
information to other people's computers. Ørjan Stokkeland thought his
computer had a virus, causing random words to appear in text fields, until
his supposed virus wrote a letter bearing the name of his neighbor. HP
spokesman Joakim Larsen warns against typing sensitive information on these
keyboards, and advises, "If you want to be completely sure that no one can
see what you are writing then you should use a keyboard with a cord."
