[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1120671, member: 52014"] 1. Yes, it's theoretically possible for a hacker to embed malware in a mouse firmware, but it's a complex process and not a common attack vector. 2. Antivirus software like MS Defender should detect and block most malware, but it's not 100% foolproof. Regular updates and scans are important. 3. This would require a high level of hacking skills, including knowledge of firmware programming and exploiting security vulnerabilities. It's not something an average hacker could easily accomplish.
