Is there a way to hook this to push notifications to my phone?

I'm in a cafe/library/public space and leave my Mac for 2 mins.

Some sketchy actor tries to hijack my device while it's unattended and I want to be notified.

Is there a config file I can add a curl command to for example which includes my pushover.net API token, etc?

No, there isn't. That would need extra code to be added as a feature.

Although, if you are worried about that case, there is a macOS control for straight up locking the USB ports if you lock your Mac, so no USB devices can touch it to begin with

I just tested that and I still received notifications from this app while my Mac was locked.
I cleared all notifications and then locked the device. I inserted a USB hub, removed it and then unlocked again.
Same notifications as when doing the same while unlocked. I was expecting to see nothing.

I'm using 15.7.1

On my system (switch to "Ask Every Time" first), that only the disconnection message fires. No connection event recorded.

The likely explanation is that the ports supply power to the device per spec but locks out data until you accept the connection.

On my list one of the improvements is to implement a log of when a device connect/disconnects from your computer. Perhaps I could put hooks on the list at some point so you can cleanly implement the functionality you described
