Keylogger vs Malware

A keylogger is malicious software or hardware that records every keystroke made on a device, capturing passwords, private keys, and seed phrases as users type them, operating silently in the background without any indication that information is being recorded and transmitted to attackers.

Malware is any malicious software designed to damage systems, steal data, or gain unauthorized access, specifically targeting cryptocurrency users by capturing private keys, seed phrases, and wallet credentials to steal digital assets.
