Go ahead and double-click.

Be careful. Scammers often leave these out for people to find and plug into their device. They are often infected with malware.

run as admin before the double click.

One time I found one in a UVM parking lot and it had nothing but photos of Mayor Weinberger. Like, 100+ photos. A lot of him eating too.

Hey, I can check out what's on it for you! The MRI machine I run at a hospital has a USB port, I'll just pop it in there!

If it has bitcoin on it, then it is totally the one I lost.

The funny thing is that stuxnet itself was actually harmless - except for the Iran Nuclear program.

Definitely don't plug in. Also who still uses USB drive or even has USB A port anymore. I almost guarantee it fell out of the garbage.

Maintenance. We still use floppies on some fleets. The whole "not broke so don't fix it" garbage.

Easiest way to breach the air gap is a "found" USB drive.

I love this theory.
jim_br t1_jcmz12e wrote
We would bring in companies to do a social engineering audit. The auditors would drop a few USB sticks in the parking lots and lounge areas to see who would plug them into company computers. After we had training classes to not plug them in, 3/10 still did it.

That's very nice of you.

If you have a spare device you don't care about, keep it off your home network (wifi/ethernet) and plug it in.
Bradcopter t1_jcnbium wrote
Don't do this. Even if you don't care about it, there's a chance it will brick the computer.

It's a joke. Go read about the stuxnet hack on the Iran nuclear centrifuge. Probably the biggest hack in history

Yup! My husband works in IT for a startup and recently did a test by planting USB sticks in the parking lot. He labeled them “Payroll”. He said like 4/10 people plugged them in!

Ahhh. The found flash drive. How my first computer forensic examination case began. I still thank the bad guy. Thousands of files of illegal content, and his resume on the drive.

Don't try to mount it on your own device... just.. don't. Turn it over to the police or let the bookshop hang on to it.
