Does InterceptX protect enduser from JavaScript Keylogger

Hi Milkyway Mike, 

Your question is perfectly valid however "website loading a Keylogger using JavaScript" would be a broad statement. Would you have a specific example, sample website/code?

Thanks,

Vikas

Hi Vikas,

Thanks for your feedback.

Forgive my curiosity and ignorance on the topic, but my question was triggered by this nice thread: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/12/28/7-types-of-virus-a-short-glossary-of-contemporary-cyberbadness/, therefore, I was questioning InterceptX efficiency on these kinds of threat.

QUOTE:

Importantly, keyloggers don’t always need to be implemented down at the operating system level, and they often don’t need administrative or root powers to hook themselves into the keystroke data stream.

For example, JavaScript code inside your browser can monitor (and alter, if it wants) the flow of keystrokes as you browse, meaning that rogue JavaScript injected into a login page could, in theory, recognise and steal your usernames and passwords.

Hi Mike__ 

Intercept X can detect most keyloggers from its machine learning algorithm. However, I would suggest if you have any sample website/code, you can submit the samples/files to Sophos Labs for review.
