Do note that the Chinese company (who produces most of the USB control
chips) whose chips were the primary victim of the researchers told the
researchers that what they had done was "not possible" on their chips.
So much for being up-front.

What's really needed is for manufacturers to be up-front about devices

And I think that it's fair to assume that any design that can be
reprogrammed 'in the field' is vulnerable. At least, at that point, people
can be proactive and use those devices which are susceptible to such a hack
wisely (or not at all).
