Reports like this are bogus .
Why ?
If someone is sitting at your computer , plugging in weird devices , or even just usb sticks, that's not a hacking issue. It's a building security issue. What were you doing letting some stranger into your computer in the first place ?
Oh , they can bribe some employee to hack your system !
Newsflash. Your employee would use his own password.
Also , most techies will simply take the hard drive out of the computer and put it into another, as a SECOND hard drive, one that doesn't boot. And then loot and pillage as required, no fancy special NSA tools required.
The only thing news articles like this do is sell papers and make the news media people money.
You might as well be repeatedly warning me "don't let strangers get near your computer" we kind of already know this.
