One user has even revealed the shocking moment his machine was taken over.Using an attack which security firm Bastille researchers, who found the flaw, have named 'MouseJack,' malicious actors are able to take over a computer through a flaw in wireless dongles. Once paired, the MouseJack operator can insert keystrokes or malicious code with the full privileges of the PC owner and infiltrate networks to access sensitive data.
