Yes, if the port carries PCI Express: a device granted direct memory access can reach main memory without the operating system logging each read.
Security section
Choose a response lane before a vague warning becomes a rushed decision. Use the question that sounds closest to your situation; you do not need to diagnose the event before starting. Each dispatch names the next safe action, the information worth retaining, and the condition that makes an official provider or responsible organisation the right next destination. If the machine involved sits on a home or office network, it also helps to remember how you chose to set up a local network share, because shared folders decide how far a problem can travel. These are steady reference notes, not a stream of alarms.
