Re: Shocking

The issue here is it's supposed to be a USB port, not a debug port. The software has the *option* of doing debugging-over-USB-port, which - when enabled - would make it a debug port. But that shouldn't be enabled in production! And if it's turned off, it shouldn't be possible for an attacker to turn it back on.
