With people spending more time on the web and hackers turning
increasingly sophisticated, the dangers of storing personal
information on computers cannot be ignored. When a password is
typed, it is temporarily stored in the random access memory (RAM),
until it is over written by fresh data. But, sometimes the computer
copies the contents of its RAM onto the hard disk where it is an
easy prey for a hacker, who can read it directly or design a worm
to e-mail it back
quote from website.. ^^ yea...any idea where it copies to?
possibility virtual memory?
