Do not plug in your Tails USB stick while another operating system is running on the computer.
No conectes tu memoria USB Tails mientras otro sistema operativo se esté ejecutando en la computadora.

Firmware attacks have been demonstrated, but are complicated and expensive to perform. We don't know of any actual use against Tails users. For an example, see <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNYsfUNegEA>LegbaCore: Stealing GPG keys/emails in Tails via remote firmware infection</a>.
aAtaques de firmware já foram demonstrados, mas são complicados e caros de se realizarem. Nós não conhecemos nenhum uso contra usuários Tails. Por exemplo, veja <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNYsfUNegEA>LegbaCore: Roubando chaves/emails GPG no Tails através de infecção remota de firmware</a> (em inglês).

Keeping your computer in a safe location can protect against some firmware attacks, but some other firmware attacks can be performed remotely.

Firmware includes the BIOS or UEFI and other software stored in electronic chips on the computer. All operating systems, including Tails, depend on firmware to start and run, so no operating system can protect against a firmware attack. In the same way that a car depends on the quality of the road it is driving on, operating systems depend on their firmware.

Other hardware alterations are much more complicated and expensive to install. For an example, see <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa-upgrade-factory-show-cisco-router-getting-implant/">Ars Technica: Photos of an NSA “upgrade” factory show Cisco router getting implant</a>.

Keyloggers are easy to buy and hide on desktop computers but not on laptops. For an example, see <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JJo8qCYE8M">KeeLog: KeyGrabber forensic keylogger getting started</a>.

Use a [[password manager|doc/encryption_and_privacy/manage_passwords]] to paste saved passwords. This way, you don't have to type passwords that might be visible to people or cameras near you.

The computer might be compromised if its physical components have been altered. For example, if a keylogger has been physically installed on the computer, your passwords, personal information, and other data typed on the keyboard could be stored and accessed by someone else, even if you are using Tails.
