Like Unicorns and Fairies
I have heard over and over not to put untrusted USB drives in my computer and have heard all sorts of anecdotal examples of "this guy did it and it led to ruination and woe." I have yet to come across a USB stick left next to my car in the parking lot or been given one at a trade show. Stuxnet aside, does this ever actually happen? I deal with malware and a variety of attacks often enough, but never this sort of thing. Are such attacks more prevalent elsewhere or is this simply a threat that gets more attention because it sounds cool to do?
