How many people (even very computer savvy) expected their somewhat standard keyboard to contain firmware that can support keylogging? https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-09/CHEN/BHUSA0...

Do you know for sure your mouse is safe from this kind of thing? What about your monitor? Even things like sticks of memory and case fans have little controllers now to do some kind of programmable RGB lighting; everything is getting filled with relatively small amounts of computing power for no good reason, and it seems to be an accelerating trend.

This seems to be another example of something theoretically possible that an actuary would tell you to ignore.
