Conspiracy theory of the day: Dell
Laptop with built-in keylogger color="red">(Update: HOAX)
Conspiracy theory of the day: Dell
Laptop with built-in keylogger color="red">(Update: HOAX)
06/17/2005 03:34 PMMark Frauenfelder:
Reader comment: Marc Hedlund presents the
best argument for this thing being a hoax: "A search for the name of
the FOIA officer in the letter turns up this letter, which uses the
same logo and the same address as the one in the 'keylogger' story.
Note also that the 'file number' is the *same* on the two letters. It
looks to me like the keylogger poster just overlaid new text in the
body of the letter." Link
I'm not sure what to make of this, really. This website has a
report by an anonymous person who says he bought a new Dell laptop and
discovered what he claims is a "keyboard logger" -- a chip that stores
keystrokes. He says he called Dell's tech support and asked them about
it:
"they said, and I quote, 'The intregrated service tag
identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or
misplaced personal information.' He then hung up."
He then call the police, who told him to call the Department of
Homeland Security:
"they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act
request. This is what I got:" (Click on thumbnails for
enlargement)

Is this a hoax? The page seems to be the only accessible page on the
site (www.chromance.de), which has a German top level domain.
Link (Thanks,
Rev!)
Update: Phil Torrone says: "I did an
investi-MAKE-ion. I think the keylogger thing is a hoax. the images from the site
are from here. The
memo/letter thing of course looks fakey too.
"I think
this is far scarier." (This points to an article that says the
U.S. Department of Justice is looking into making ISPs store "records
of e-mail, browsing or chat-room activity months after ISPs ordinarily
would have deleted the logs -- if they were ever kept in the first
place.")
Reader comment: Tian says: "The letter accompanied with
the story about Dell laptop's keylogger is
fake as well. If you do a search for dept. of homeland security's
logo, it is a blue colour circular logo with an eagle in it. The one
on the fake letter is a five-pointed star, which is commonly used for
Sheriff's office." Link
