Flash Drives

Never plug a USB flash drive into your computer that is not your own. Malicious Code could be saved on the flash drive and programmed to run keyloggers or backdoors when plugged in. Some of these devices appear to be USB flash drives but instead are microcontrollers designed to run files or control you computer without your permission. As a best practice, never plug in a USB flash drive to your device if you don't own it.
