This little device has apparently been used to pull of one of the greatest bank heist in history. You attach this device to the keyboard cable at the back of the pc and it´s able to record 130000 keystrokes. The bank robbers installed this device inside the bank and got access to Sumitomo Bank’s wire transfer capability. With all the information at their hand they proceeded to transfer more than 400 million $ to various foreign accounts.
The article at zdnet that I´am using as a source is called Super Glue, guess what the banks officials decided to do after they found out ? Right, they decided to glue the keyboard cables to the computer, making it impossible to connect a device in between.
