Beg to differ, if one is really worried about this kind of hacking, the best approach is to buy a few inexpensive hardware USB data blocker plugs and keep them with you.
A simple hardware solution (USB plug that doesn’t have data lines wired, only the power lines) is reliable, and easier to trust than any software solution, even from Apple.

The article mentions that at the bottom, including an example of which hardware piece you can use (something called a Nitrokey Data Blocker).
LOL! I’m still old-fashioned and scan posts manually without reading every referenced link unless further interest is generated, or something is called out by the human poster.
Guess I need to add “AI summaries” to my workflow, eh? Not!
