Sammy mentioned, he would tell us how to prevent this but he never did. I am guessing since Microsft keyboard emits the CD at all time and is prone to this attack, for now I should stop using it.



If you show how to break a system, don't you implicitly show the parts that are broken that need to be fixed? The entire protocol is so poor you should probably just not use the tech anymore.
