I have old pc case which has 2 usb ports that can be connected to motherboard. Is it possible that malware could reside in thise ports and then infect the pc which uses this case?

Yes it does, its also different depending on brands, and someone would need to know which one you have and likely have direct access to it and REALLY want to get you to do that.

USB ports and PSU's do not have anything. There is no way possible either could infect you with malware.



Now thats a horribly bad idea. With no password forget getting malware, someone could just get into your system and do whatever they want.
