"There’s a critical vulnerability in a model of Fujitsu wireless
keyboard that makes it easy for hackers to take full control of
connected computers, security researchers warned on Friday. Anyone using
the keyboard model should strongly consider replacing it immediately."

I still prefer wired keyboards, and this is one reason why.

Cheers,
