| 2 | OR |
| 3 | Disable them in the BIOS |
| 4 | |
| 5 | It is very easy to re-write a USB drive firmware via another virus on a |
| 6 | poorly secured different computer so this doesn't really need physical |
| 7 | access not that it would be difficult to simply have someone cause a |
| 8 | scene and then have someone else walk by and insert a drive in to your |
| 9 | laptop for a few seconds while you were distracted if you were a high |
| 10 | profile target (politician, ceo, lawyer etc) |
