Probably it would be a good idea for Debian GNOME to install USB Guard
by default to mitigate this threat. I haven't evaluated how user
friendly the GNOME management of it is though, nor whether the
interface results in bad security decisions by users. With USB input
devices on desktop systems, usbguard makes it easy to get yourself
locked out and need to force a reboot, as I found out the hard way.
