Half of people plug in USB drives they find in the parking lot

Maybe large technology-consuming biz needs to lean on large technology-producing biz so that the mere act of plugging a device into a computer can't result in major harm.

It's a really sad indictment of the computer industry (and it's a problem that's affected pretty much every vendor over the years) that we have major data exfiltrations and hospitals shut down and everyone just shrugs because they imagine it's just how computers are and nothing can be done about it.

There's a huge financial cost to businesses from what is, essentially, shoddy software and it's time to stop blaming the users for inadvertently exposing its faults.
