Re: Something intriguing
All that is fun, but let's be honest, it takes a lot of time and we programmers are lazy. The evil ones are too. Why go to the effort of manufacturing sneaky drives with a complex disconnected script which watches filesystem activity and implants itself only to find that it doesn't work because the users used something unpredicted when the script was written when you can email someone an executable and ask them to run it? It takes a lot of effort, time, and money to get those drives manufactured and sold and it's also a path someone could use to track you. Don't overthink it; the ransomware people aren't.
