MouseJacking, first reported by Bastille Networks, Inc.,[8] is the sending of malicious radio signals (packets) wirelessly to an unsuspecting user through Logitech Unifying wireless technology. The exploit takes advantage of a user's vulnerable Logitech Unifying Receiver and unencrypted signals within a range of about 100 meters. Possible exploits include:

What really happened to the 3 Little Pigs?! Everybody thinks they know this age old story already, but has anyone ever stopped to hear what the Wolf has to say about what happened? Is he really as big and bad as they say, or is it all just a case of porky pies?

If you are looking for an engaging, fun, educational workshops for your pupils then this is the programme for you. Our children have learnt some strong meaningful messages regarding cyber safety which we believe we stick in their minds for a long time.

All of the main issues surrounding online safety were delivered in an engaging way. The children loved the characters and couldn’t wait to give them advice to help solve their problems.

Soar into space on this interplanetary adventure as our Bigfooters discover that space travel isn’t quite as easy as they thought as they encounter the worlds of Planet Physics, Planet Chemistry, and Planet Biology!

Pairing software is available from Logitech for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Wireless devices using the Unifying Receiver are supported since Linux 3.2.[6] Software to manage Unifying devices on Linux is available from third party developers, such as Solaar.[7]

Flashing on a Linux/UNIX host via a hypervisor such as VirtualBox along with a Windows virtual guest image and the Windows Logitech update executable is also possible. If using a Windows virtual guest, it is recommended to have a second available pointing device while the dongle is being updated. The second pointing device may be needed to allow the user to select and enable pass through of the unifying receiver via the hypervisor task bar after executing the firmware updater so that the device is found and updated.

The drama workshops really helped the children delve deeper into the ideas delivered in the assembly; a really great follow up.

‘The BIG Experience’ invites KS1 & KS2 students to take part in an exciting large scale learning opportunity with their peers.

Up to 120 students can participate in each 60 minute session whereby two Bigfooters in role will engage, enthral and educate them about a particular topic/theme.

A fun and engaging way to promote e-safety. Children will have the opportunity to discuss issues in an open and honest space with well-educated facilitators.

Both staff and children thought that the sessions were extremely entertaining as well as being informative. The content was relevant and the delivery was outstanding, engaging the children throughout. Thank you so much!Entertaining. Educational. Worth the money.

Several security vulnerabilities of the Logitech Unifying system were reported in 2016 and 2019,[8] and patches released.

Updating the Unifying receiver firmware to versions RQR12.08 or greater and RQR24.06 or greater can limit some functionality of certain paired devices unless the devices' firmware is also updated.

On July 9, 2019 another set of vulnerabilities was disclosed and documented by a different researcher.[8] A firmware update for Unifying receivers addressing the "Encryption Key Extraction Through USB" vulnerability (CVE-2019-13054/55) was released on 28 August 2019.[15] Some users reported in 2019 that some Unifying devices were still being sold that were vulnerable to the original 2016 MouseJacking attack.[16]

A newer receiver named "Logitech Bolt" was released in 2021 that promises lower latency but is incompatible with Unifying products.

The Logitech Unifying Receiver is a small dedicated USB wireless receiver, based on the nRF24L-family of RF devices,[1] that allows up to six compatible Logitech human interface devices (such as mice, trackballs, touchpads, and keyboards; headphones are not compatible) to be linked to the same computer using 2.4 GHz band radio communication. Receivers that are bundled with a Logitech product are paired with the device at the factory. When purchasing a replacement receiver or connecting multiple devices to one receiver, pairing requires the free-of-charge Logitech Unifying software, available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. On Linux the Solaar software can be used to adjust the configurations. Although not compatible with Bluetooth, devices pair to Unifying Receivers in a similar way.[2] Peripherals remain paired, and can then be used on systems not supporting the software. Logitech receivers compatible with the Unifying protocol can be identified by the orange Unifying logo, which distinguishes them from Logitech Nano receivers of similar appearance, which pair in a similar manner but only with a single device, without using the Unifying protocol.

The facilitator and workshop were engaging and exciting for my Year 1 children. The facilitators behaviour management strategies meant that the children were concentrating on their learning and the activities linked well to the objectives set. I also will be able to use them back in the classroom to further support my teaching of computing and E-safety. I would highly recommend this programme for other Year 1 classes!

Spirit has become separated from The Notting Hill Carnival Parade only to re-appear in your school hall! From here a different kind of celebration and some contemplation ensues – that of black role models past and present.

Linux users can use fwupd to flash an updated firmware. It will automatically detect available updates for any connected unifying receivers and many other firmware updatable devices. An outdated alternative is MouseJack.[1]

Some older Unifying devices limit the number of allowable pairing changes to a maximum of 45 times. Once the 45th connection is made, it is no longer possible to connect such a device to a different receiver. For users who often switch a Unifying device between multiple PCs or laptops with individual receivers, this connection limit can become an issue. For example, a user who frequently switches a mouse between two receivers (e.g. at work and home) will quickly exhaust the limit of available pairing switches.[5] Logitech advises customers with this issue to contact their Customer Care. Newer devices can switch pairings an unlimited number of times.

Many companies have made peripherals that connect via USB wireless receivers very similar to Logitech's; Logitech devices are incompatible with many of these "off-brand" receivers[citation needed].

Logitech Unifying Receivers (LURs) are often included in wireless Logitech keyboard, mouse, and combo sets, and may be purchased separately. Some Logitech peripherals allow a receiver to be stored inside.[3]

Using the power of storytelling, students will be encouraged to participate in a variety of creative tasks throughout the experience in order to have fun together and enhance their learning; what could be better?!

This thought provoking experience uses filmed child testimonies to help students on understand how we maintain positive respectful relationships and why some children may be bullied, why some may bully others, what unkind behaviour and discrimination looks like.

There are many different hardware versions of the unifying receiver. The most common is used for daily use, and is marked CU-0007 on the metal jacket. CU-0008 is distributed with gaming devices, and features lower latency.

Each peripheral device can pair to one receiver per profile. While most peripherals only store one profile, newer products such as the Logitech MX Master, MX Anywhere series, and M720 Triathlon allow multiple profiles. These devices can be connected to multiple receivers simultaneously. This allows the use of receivers in several computers, e.g., a desktop and a laptop computer, selecting the computer to use by changing profiles on the mouse. This multi-computer function is further augmented by Logitech Flow (software KVM solution) which is similar to Synergy. For devices without multi-computer support, the receiver and input devices can be moved together from one computer to another, maintaining their paired status after being unplugged, as the pairing information is held in the little USB receiver[2]—this is much simpler than transferring the peripheral from one receiver to another by changing the setup in software, and also avoids the limitation to 45 pairings of older devices. This also allows the use of peripherals on computing devices that do not support Unifying Software, e.g. devices supporting USB OTG with operating systems such as Android: first pair to the receiver on a PC or Mac.[4]
