<p>A security plug (20) for preventing access to a USB socket (10) having a frame (11) and at least one aperture (15) in the frame, includes a planar body portion (21) dimensioned for insertion into the frame of the USB socket and having an end surface (22), and at least one prong (24) supported by a major surface of the body portion for engaging a corresponding aperture (15) in the frame and impeding removal of the plug from the socket. The security plug (20) may be any device adapted to complete an electrical circuit when inserted into the USB socket such that its removal from the USB socket breaks the circuit and is detected by a host computer. Such a device may have a unique ID allowing software in the host computer to take precautionary or evasive action upon insertion or removal of the USB device by an unauthorized user.</p> |
