Almost certainly still an issue, but I don't have the USB device any
more.

Title:
  USB Webkey devices send arbitrary keyboard input to focused window
  without confirmation

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When inserting a 'USB Webkey' (generic-usb 0003:05AC:020B.0001) without any user interaction a stream of characters is sent to whatever window the user happens to have focused. Such as Konsole session to a remote machine.
  This shouldn't happen. Anything* could be made to happen accidentally or not...
