Modzero report on keylogger issue

May 12, 2017 - HP Corporate Newsroom

On May 11, Swiss based cyber-security firm Modzero AG released a whitepaper highlighting that a keylogger (a debug capability) is present in HP’s audio drivers on some notebook computers. HP is committed to the security and privacy of its customers and we are aware of the capability on select HP PCs. HP has no access to customer data as a result of this issue. Any data logged is erased each time a user logs off or restarts their machine. Our supplier partner developed software to test audio functionality prior to product launch and it should not have been included in the final shipped version. A commercial fix is available now with all consumer fixes available on May 13.

More information can be found in our security advisory.
