- geofft 8y agoOK, "the device is secretly a USB Rubber Ducky-style device that will send keyboard shortcuts to open a new tab, send data, and close it" is definitely a potential attack, sure. It would almost certainly be super noticeable (unless everyone else's browsers are much faster at opening and closing tabs than I am) so it seems like the sort of thing you'd only deploy against a couple of high-value targets at some single opportune moment, but that's arguably within Advanced Protection's threat model I guess.
