USB (Universal Series Bus) ‘critically flawed’, researchers say

The widely used Universal Series Bus standard has a serious flaw that has apparently existed since USB was designed back in the 1990s, which can be used to infect a computer without the user’s knowledge. There is “no practical way” to defend against the vulnerability, security experts Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell say.
