A computer-implemented method for identifying malware threat vectors may include 1) identifying a computing system that includes a first human interface device, 2) detecting an introduction of a new device to the computing system that presents itself to the computing system as a second human interface device, 3) determining that the second human interface device is configured to generate a type of input event equivalent to the type of input event generated by the first human interface device, 4) determining, based on the second human interface device being configured to generate the type of input event equivalent to the type of input event generated by the first human interface device, that the second human interface device includes a potential malware attack vector. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
