Speaking of USB keyboards. I get this second USB keyboard interface which I always disable on Linux with udevadm to no detriment for basic keyboard use. And just from the security standpoint, nobody wants any simple peripherals to have any extra interfaces. But there's no way to disable the aforementioned USB interface on OpenBSD? Is there a way?

You don't happen to have an Xbox type controller plugged into your computer by any chance do you?

Hello, there are posts on the net describing the same phenomenon and it seems an issue with chromium. weird anyway..

Re: Mouse moving on its own, kbd typing on its own
Thanks. Here's why it might not be bios/firmware hacked. This happened when I use chromium, some specific sites even. It felt like a failed attempt to capture the pointer remotely and overflow something maybe. Everything seems to be working ok right now, and I see now sign of any hacking, so I think it is failed attempts to hack. Fedora seems to be chugging along after some major customization, by the way. But some things in Linux are just not there security-wise.

Consider vacuuming your keyboard a bit every once in a while, and clean your mouse. -- Andreas (Kusalananda) Kähäri Uppsala, Sweden .
Re: Mouse moving on its own, kbd typing on its own
this could mean that somehow you got some attacker to insert malicious code in your bios/firmware meaning that no matter how many times you reinstall you're still hacked you should probably sell your motherboard or entire computer and get a new one... maybe cpu is affected, too? I don't know where microcode is at that's what you get for using fedora instead of openbsd and not reading source code On Fri, March 8, 2024 4:43 pm, ofthecentury wrote: > I have a USB mouse that starts to move a little > on its own once in a while when I'm browsing the internet using chromium. > My USB keyboard > is also acting up...it just started typing spaces all of a sudden as I was > typing up this email and wasn't reactive to any input until I unplugged it > and plugged it back in.

Mouse moving on its own, kbd typing on its own
I have a USB mouse that starts to move a little on its own once in a while when I'm browsing the internet using chromium. My USB keyboard is also acting up...it just started typing spaces all of a sudden as I was typing up this email and wasn't reactive to any input until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Is it Chromium? Or is it OpenBSD? I think it's Chromium, but how to get to the bottom of it? I'm on OpenBSD 7.5 right now, but I've seen it on OpenBSD 7.4. And I've seen this on my Fedora 39 installation before, by the way. I think it's a major security flaw somewhere.
