Six-year-old installs keylogger on MP's computer
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/108769/sixyearold-installs-keylogger-on-mp
s-computer.html
A six-year-old girl has successfully hacked into the UK Parliament's
computer system, installing a keylogger onto an MPs machine.
Guildford MP Anne Milton agreed to leave her computer unattended for 60
seconds as part of a test of House of Commons IT security by the BBC's
Inside Out programme.
Brianagh, a schoolgirl from Winchester, took just a quarter of that time
to install the keylogging software without being noticed. Such easily
available applications record all the keystrokes made on a machine and
can therefore be used to steal passwords, financial data and personal
information.
