Fits with the coincidental marketing of "USB condoms" which now seem like an extra good idea where charging is the goal.
Makes me now wonder about the infection potential of a lot of USB powered devices. I could imagine a lot of "dumb" devices incidentally using a vulnerable controller chip, even if the application of USB is purely for power. Maybe most USB powered devices have a safe / invulnerable way of sipping power? Anyone faniliar with USB power-only devices want to comment?
