I know it is not secure to use public internet Cafe Computers for accessing the wallets and for transaction needs. At times I don't have any other option than just using it. I would like to know, is there any software available to record the input data entered while accessing the wallet. Recently one of my friend informed about such a way to know the private keys. Is there anyone here have any such experience.
I don't have first hand experience but there are numerous cyber cafe who do have key loggers installed in their PCs. Along with that almost all of them take note of your browsing history, cached items and saved passwords. Moreover some of them even have snoopers installed which can clearly see what coming on the screen. So it's definitely not safe to use your private keys on such devices. Even if you have to use then make sure you type your keys rather than copy pasting the whole of it so that no key loggers harm your money.  It's difficult to stop snoopers however
