Abstract

This research presents a method of data breach that is known as thumb-sucking. Through the insertion of a flash drive into a computer’s USB port, it allows for the extraction of the user’s private information. In order to protect against the possibility of data breach in the form of thumb-sucking, the researchers have devised preventive measures in order to protect a user from malicious hackers. These measures include testing on various Windows operating systems that are in use, mainly Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and some Linux platform. The choice of conducting tests on Windows is due to the problem that not all users of Windows are tech savvy enough to avoid their data being accessed without permission.
