Patch Your Keyboard?!
Researchers are warning of a new class of “MouseJacking” attacks that impact various models of Logitech keyboards. For those who are unfamiliar, MouseJacking attacks allow an attacker to inject keystrokes into a wireless keyboard using a small radio device that costs less than $50.
This class of issue has been around since 2016, however a variety of new attacks have recently been discovered. It is recommended that users patch their devices now, and possibly again in the near future as more fixes become available.
