USB data blocker -> A USB data blocker, also known as a “USB condom” (really, no kidding!), is a device that allows you to plug into USB charging ports including charging kiosks, and USB ports on gadgets owned by other people. The main purpose of using one is to eliminate the risk of infecting your phone or tablet with malware, and even prevent hackers to install/execute any malicious code to access your data.

ChatGPT answer as of 7/22/2023: The tool that is effective in preventing a user from accessing unauthorized removable media is: A. USB data blocker A USB data blocker, also known as a USB data isolator or USB condom, is a hardware device that blocks data transfer between a USB port and a USB device while still allowing power to flow through. It is commonly used to protect against potential threats from public charging stations or untrusted USB ports, where unauthorized data transfer or malware infection could occur. By using a USB data blocker, users can charge their devices safely without risking data theft or unauthorized access to their removable media. The other options listed (B. Faraday cage, C. Proximity reader, D. Cable lock) are not specifically designed to prevent access to unauthorized removable media. So, the correct answer is A. USB data blocker.

Selected Answer: A
The most effective tool among the options listed for preventing a user from accessing unauthorized removable media is a USB data blocker. A USB data blocker, also known as a USB condom or USB defender, is a small device that blocks data transfer while allowing charging capabilities. It achieves this by disabling the data pins in a USB connection, preventing any data exchange between the device and the computer. This prevents the risk of malware infection or unauthorized data transfer when connecting to unknown or potentially compromised USB devices.
