Kijanki,
Actually, Firewire was never a real threat to personal, corporate or net security. Firewire died because when it became an open source protocol and Apple couldn't extract any more profit from it. And also from the fact that Apple's royalties made it too expensive and unattractive for third-party (aka Chinese) device manufacturers.
As it turns out, the real security threat is actually USB; specifically, USB controller chips with firmware that is reloadable or reprogrammable on the fly. Google "BadUSB" and scan through the reports. There is no easy fix for this bad design flaw.
