Keylogger Definition: A keylogger is hardware or software that covertly records keystrokes to steal passwords and sensitive input for theft or surveillance.
A keylogger is hardware or software that secretly records a user's keystrokes to capture passwords, messages, and other sensitive input. Software keyloggers often run as stealthy background processes or malware, while hardware variants are physical devices inserted between keyboard and computer; both are used for credential theft, surveillance, and espionage.
