It's not the protocol but the fact that USB devices are just too trusting. Plug your phone into a USB socket and you've little protection against it communicating with whoever is on the other end of the USB connection.
- collyw 12y agoIs this not why my phone asks me what I want to do when I plug it into the computer? USB debugging mode, charge only, and another option or two that I can't remember right now. If I select "charge only" will I be secure in the same way?
- prutschman 12y agoUnfortunately, this isn't universal.
- ZoFreX 12y agoThis really varies from phone to phone, sadly. When I plug mine in I am only given a choice of which protocol to use to give the host computer access to all my files (and it connects using the default one as soon as you plug it in).
