minus-squareAlteon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up124·1 year agoRemember kids, don’t ever plug something in to your computer that you don’t trust or are unsure about. Picking up flashdrive off the street and plugging them in is one of the easiest ways to get malware installed on your computer.

minus-squarehalcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoExpensive is relative. You can find a sketchy USB Killer on AliExpress for like $6. Maybe expensive as a single throwaway device, but not very expensive to cause pure chaos to a bunch of random people.
