Abstract
There are various attack vectors over USB such as injecting malware, HID spoofing, juice jacking etc. This issue can be mitigated by disabling the USB for good, leaving the functionality over USB unavailable to the user. This problem is more prominent for gadgets/peripherals like chargers/charging cables, storage devices (thumb drives/hard disks), mice/Keyboard etc. connected to the host via USB.
