My company locks down the USB ports on our macbooks so that only input devices are recognized. Flash drives and the like are not recognized. We’re a small private company in the telco space so definitely not the mob or a cartel.
Why would I need a USB drive to docker build or run a debugger?
- fingerlocks 2mo agoFirmware development, IoT, basically anything embedded. Mobile devs that want a responsive debugger. Yubikey authentication. Smart card readers. Remoting into air-gapped machines. Thats just stuff I do.I’m sure there are many other use cases. For context, I work for a very large company in Redmond that has a renowned history of antitrust litigation.
- Melatonic 2mo agoLot of places just lock down USB to read only. Exceptions could be made for specific machines and device IDs. It's pretty common really - and if the internal disk is fully encrypted reasonably hard to easily exfiltrate a large amount of data. Of course that doesn't stop taking screenshots with another device but that's a slow process
