Wow! What is this! who makes up conspiracy theories, man. All though, does anyone want to confirm or deny the above statements? Now, I am actually leaning toward the one by MrWizard.

... O_O What does all this mean ?

Is it another company bashing dell ? or is it just an upset geek that felt frustrated by Dell's tech. support ? XD

the site doesn't debunk anything, all it says is "its not true".
there is no proof thats its a hoax

I work with a couple of fleets of dell notebooks (not 600m)and the keyboards ARE ribbon cables.

"Connected to the ethernet board" ???? Hah... just use wireless then! ;)

This is so bogus.

If you own a Dell, you can take it a apart and see if there's anything attached to within the course of the keyboard cable/ribbon. But, if the keylogging is done in software, or in hardware mounted on the mainboard, you won't see anything.

Hi!the site doesn't debunk anything, all it says is "its not true". there is no proof thats its a hoaxJust use your Dell to TYPE, but not send, an email to Michael Dell, telling him how wonderful you think his products are.

See if you get a response ;>}

Here's a fix....

Use your mouse and copy and paste characters from character mapper. No keys no logging.

Or a usb keyboard.


Both completely useless solutions for a nonexistant problem.
