AFAIK, there is nothing special about activating developer mode. Attackers cannot fake touch events, outside of having convinced the user to make their malware an `AccessibilityService`, or perhaps through some unpatched security bugs on the device. – CommonsWare May 02 '17 at 15:27

The question is not clear. – Juan May 02 '17 at 15:27

Yes there is and it was introduced in the 4.2.2 update. Even is somehow developer mode was enabled, and you accidentally plugged in your phone to an unknown USB port, if the key provided by the host is unrecognized, you have the opportunity to sign it and allow it, or ignore it. If ignored, host device is unable to access your phone via ADB. Here is an in-depth article about this: https://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2013/02/secure-usb-debugging-in-android-422.html
