KeyScrambler defeats keyloggers by encrypting your keystrokes at the keyboard driver level, deep within the operating system. When the encrypted keystrokes reach your browser, KeyScrambler then decrypts them so you see exactly the keys you've typed. Keyloggers can only record the encrypted keys, which are completely indecipherable.
- Why KeyScrambler
An estimated 8.3 million Americans older than 18 were victims of identity theft in 2005, according to an analysis of a phone survey released by the Federal Trade Commission. Among them, 1.8 million Americans discovered some type of fraud committed using their personal information, 3.2 million had credit-card accounts misused and 3.3 million experienced misuse of other financial accounts. The FTC estimates that identity theft cost American consumers $1.2 billion in 2006. Javelin Strategy & Research reports that identity theft cost U.S. businesses $55.7 billion in the same year.

A McAfee Avert Labs white paper, released in January of 2007, reports that the number of keyloggers—malicious software code that tracks typing activity to capture passwords and other private information—has increased by 250 percent between January 2004 and May 2006.
In March 2007, a Webroot study found that over 40
percent of the companies surveyed reported business losses from a variety
of spyware related issues and 26 percent of enterprises reported that
confidential information had been compromised as a result of spyware.
The rate of spyware infection is an alarming trend, as
- 39 percent of companies reported Trojan horse attacks;
- 24 percent reported system monitor attacks; and
- 20 percent reported pharming and keylogger attacks.
A Gartner survey of more than 4,500 online U.S. adults in August 2007 found that phishing attacks in the United States soared in 2007 as $3.2 billion was lost to these attacks. 3.6 million adults lost money in phishing attacks in the 12 months ending in August 2007, as compared with the 2.3 million who did so the year before. Gartner experts believe that phishing and malware attacks will continue to increase through 2009 because it's still a lucrative business for the perpetrators, and advertising networks will be used to deliver up to 30 percent of malware that lands on consumer desktops.
The dramatic increase in online and computer-based identity theft and customers' unpreparedness for it have exacted a high toll on economies around the world. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the annual cost for consumers and businesses in the United States alone reaches $50 billion annually. In the United Kingdom, the Home Office has calculated the cost of identity theft to the British economy at $3.2 billion during the last three years, and some estimates from the Australian Center for Policing Research place the cost of identity theft at $3 billion each year (as cited in the McAfee report).
