    Tittel is misleading as this a variant of BadUSB where a device act as keyboard device.

    And i agree and prefer that user is able to replace firmware.

      Not really. You can’t just walk by with a cell phone to configure a flash drive that is already plugged in and convert it to an attack vector. The method of setting up the attack device is the shocking part. You don’t even have you push a pairing button on the speaker to connect to it.
