That’s obvious when a mouse or keyboard doesn’t work. OP, and clealy other people in here, don’t really understand the actual attack vector in play. They aren’t using the USB as data storage, they are using as a cellular connected RAT and/or a tool to deploy a RAT to a workstation.

I think gluing usbs is dumb in just about any environment (disable them on the BIOS is the right answer), but attackers aren’t using it to drag and drop files and then physically take the usb with them. They are plugging them into a workstation, or just leaving them in the parking lot and letting other people plug them in, leveraging them to get initial access, and then essentially abandoning them.

For example see stuxnet: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet
