The Real Hustle - Keylogging

This doesn't show how the keylogger was installed?

A much more subtle social engineering attack was this... leaving USB drives filled with spyware in the parking lot of the target. Folks brought them in and plugged them into the network. Boom.. pwned.

ok. This woman's bank security is pathetic. My bank, only has you type in the login. The password is displayed in a small window with all the numbers scrambled randomly everytime you log in, and you input the password by clicking with the mouse. Much safer.
Of course you could also be monitered with some sort of remote viewer that could see whatever is displayed in your desktop, but at least this way is much safer.

Exactly gfxmonk, a very critical point for this scam. Did they just break into the office? Intercept the computer at her house? Break into her car? Each would raise the possibility of any other number of precautions defeating their intrusion attempt. Winkler's example seems much more plausible, which serves as a much more realistic lesson to prepare for exploitation. Similar to how we used to click over the read-only switch on a 3.5" floppy before use on strange PCs.

Both of the episode clips i've seen so far for this series have employed nothing more than scare-mongering tactics, obviously for ratings. The chance if this happening to you - in the method they've described - would be so unlikely, you might as-well stop travelling by air for fear of crashing into a mountain.
