Limites liées à l’utilisation du chiffrement de données

En activant le chiffrement dans votre compte, vous renforcez la sécurité des données stockées à la fois sur le serveur et sur l’ordinateur local. Les fichiers journaux et les captures d’écran sont enregistrés sous forme chiffrée, ce qui rend impossible leur lecture en cas d’accès non autorisé.

Comment activer le chiffrement de bout en bout (E2EE)

Aujourd'hui, KidLogger est la première solution au monde qui offre le chiffrement de bout en bout (E2EE). Toutes les données capturées à partir des ordinateurs de l'enfant seront cryptées et décryptées uniquement pour le propriétaire du compte. Les données d'activité de l'enfant capturées à partir d'appareils terminaux seront cryptées avant d'être transférées vers notre service cloud. La principale différence avec le cryptage SSL est que les données sont toujours cryptées lorsqu'elles atteignent le stockage cloud de KidLogger et, en outre, elles sont maintenues cryptées même dans tous les types d'instances en cours d'exécution de la base de données, des contextes d'exécution et des algorithmes de traitement au sein de nos serveurs cloud. Lorsque vous vous connectez à votre compte, les données sont transmises au navigateur Web sous une forme cryptée initiale et sont décryptées à la volée directement sur la page du navigateur Web en utilisant le programme Java-Script et les fonctionnalités de cryptage du navigateur. Ici, nous expliquons comment mettre à jour ou installer le nouveau logiciel agent KidLogger et configurer la fonction de cryptage E2EE.

KidLogger Kid Safety agent for Android

We are glad to announce a new version of parental control application for Android that will work for both KidLogger and StaffCounter services. Due to the latest challenges in cyber-security landscape, user monitoring applications needs to be adapted to conform both regulatory compliance such as GDPR and vendor based Reputation, such as Microsoft PUA or Google Play Protect. 

The new application will not be hidden, but has the same features as hidden PRO version. The idea is to keep transparency and informs the phone user about the actions that are being monitored. In the taskbar, you can see the icon of the Application, that opens the info window with the actual supervision configuration from parents or company. We also are going to integrate mobile push notifications to keep track application activity from online service.

KidLogger update for Windows 10, PUA defender

For the last year, cyber-criminals succeeded in a few significant cyberattacks by using weaknesses in Windows operating system, and so-called “supply chain” attack approaches.

As a response, since September 2021, for the latest Windows 10 version (20H2), Microsoft turned ON by default protection against potentially unwanted apps (PUA) by blocking them when downloading files. Windows defender flagged KidLogger Setup as PUA due to functionality like screenshots, screen reading and key logging. At the same time, Symantec Endpoint protection also labeled SafeJKA code signature as “WS. Reputation” flag. We have modified product setup and submitted an application of False-Positive detection to both organizations.  To change the KidLogger reputation level in Windows Defender cloud-based Threat intelligence, we also have released an extra update. 

For now, we assure you, it is absolutely safe to install KidLogger Setup file. If you encounter difficulties downloading setup file – use  “Allow on this Device” option in Windows Threat protection dialog. 

Smart screenshot, experimental feature for Windows

We added a new experimental feature for Windows. Many customers ask us to make screenshots more often than once a minute. Now it is possible.

You need to have Standard or Professional subscription. Log into your personal account and open the Settings page. If you have more than one device, choose the desired one in the list.

Support for end-2-end encryption (E2EE) soon

KidLogger team would like to announce the end-to-end encryption (E2EE) soon will become available for all KidLogger users. With “end-to-end encryption” feature enabled, the data will be encrypted and anonymized by KidLogger Agent apps before upload to the kidlogger.net server and then decrypted in your web browser right in a moment when you are looking at the activity reports from your children's computer or smartphone. This provides the highest privacy level since data delivered to the cloud storage in encrypted form. This will enable the strongest compliance with GDPR regulation, since all the data will be encrypted, processed and stored in encrypted and anonymized form by default. Since this feature will be enabled on an account, KidLogger will store only encrypted data blobs for each children device. Thus, information that belongs to you will not be processed by KidLogger or our data platform provider in open form. 

Children's patterns of behavior during distance learning.

In this article, we will examine how children behave during distance learning, and how this can be determined using KidLogger for Windows.

We will look at six basic patterns of behavior:

1.     The child is listening to the conference. He or she does not touch the computer;
2.     The child is talking over Zoom with a teacher;
3.     The child is chatting with friends using an extraneous chat client (Skype, Discord);
4.     The child is reading some extraneous material in Word;
5.     The child is looking at an extraneous website (Facebook);
6.     The child is watching an extraneous video (YouTube).
