    I was reffering to BadUSB, which is for example the USB firmware suddendly adding a fake USB keyboard and running running curl | sh through ALT+F2, or maybe adding a USB network adapter that proxies your traffic through an attacker machine, or really all sorts of other fun things you could imagine.

    This isn't the things I'd worry about, but properly done rogue firmware is definitely among the 1% scary attacks.
