VIrtual keyboard changes the character location every time it shows so unless u record click for log time or screen record it is difficult

Malware can still be capable to take screenshot of the screen. If it would log mouse clicks I would imagine it would at least take screenshot if not a video.

Knowing when to take a screenshot, uploading and storing it, and extracting the password is a lot more work than dumping a text file and grepping for bofa.com.

Psh, only if you're not also logging keys.

Yeah, this is really shitty malware design.

Wow that's a terrible UX -- randomized keyboard every time? Talk about an incentive to NOT login!

Does it randomize its DOM elements too?
