Enhance cybersecurity awareness and survivability for DoD, industry partners, and academia in the face of the ever-increasing threat of cyber attacks. Cybersecurity (CS) includes managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information and the systems and processes used for those purposes, including analog and physical form. CS includes information availability, identification and authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation as well as the economic considerations with respect to selection of CS techniques, CS processes, and industry trends.

How common are these attacks? They seem incredibly easy to invoke, all you need is physical access.

Surprisingly, they don’t seem to be all that common or they are underreported. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they just weren’t being reported since you could conduct the attack and after a few seconds remove the device and move on without anyone noticing. Plus, to an IT professional it would look like a hardware failure and unlikely be identified as an insider attack.

I think you are apbriceno, it could be a common thing but not reported as it’s rear to caught some one doing it. I recall a similar usb device ( rubber ducky ) which I think it’s very easy to be used to open backdoors or run destructive code on the target machine, and by the way ready made payload are also available on the net.
