Word #2

surreptitious

A Strong Password Isn't the Strongest Security (article by Randall Stross from The New York Times)

"Here's one threat to keep you awake at night: Keylogging software, which is deposited on a PC by a virus, records all keystrokes — including the strongest passwords you can concoct — then sends it surreptitiously to a remote location."

obtained, done, made, etc., by stealth; secret or unauthorized; clandestine; adjective

After I noticed a couple of surreptitious transactions on my credit card statement, I realized that my card was stolen from last night's event.
