from here and here

I kinda think that if neither malware nor hardware destroying circuitry will stop users from plugging strange USB devices into their computers, explosive charges probably won't stop them either. But I'd certainly love to be proven wrong.

I've found USB drives before. I know how strong the sense of curiosity can be, but I also know what can go wrong, and even though Microsoft has tried to make it harder for malware to spread that way, it's still possible - especially with social engineering (and they're already have the advantage of piquing a curious person's interest).

Fingered by a thumb drive

from here

You'd think members of Anonymous would have good enough OpSec sense to know that you leave your personal belongings at home when you're out committing crimes. Apparently not everyone got the memo.

from here

Seemingly nothing bad happened in this particular instance, but you never know - there might have been malware.
