MS "PC-SPY" will capture visible passwords and more
Microsoft also notes that beyond Edge Browser "private" sessions and
DRM-protected content (like movies, natch!) and such, their new
full-time spying feature will record essentially all activity on the
screen at five second intervals and store it by default for several
months. Including, MS notes, personal information (e.g. visible
passwords, account numbers, you name it). You couldn't design a system
more vulnerable to abuses if you tried. But hey, MS has the talent. -L
