[QUOTE="Oblivion99, post: 1120666, member: 105415"] Hello I assume a mouse like Logitech M500s Advanced Corded Mouse can hold some data? Since it autoruns software / driver, when you connect it. 1. Can a hacker transfer malware to a mouse like the above mentioned, and then use the mouse to infect a laptop with the malware? 2. The laptops antivirus, for example MS Defender, would block and stop the attack? 3. What kind of hacker skill level would this require? Thank you [/QUOTE]
