“Hey, I have this sweet game on my USB drive that I want to show you.”
Don’t fall for a sleazy trick like that. A single, momentary penetration is all that it takes. Within seconds, all passwords on the target computer will be compromised; Windows, MSN and AIM passwords–all stolen.
You may be familiar with U3 USB technology from Sandisk and Memorex. When you insert the drive, the PC detects it as a CD-ROM drive and autoplays the proprietary application. The USB drive management software bypasses security and automatically loads itself.
USB Hacks presents the USB Switchblade. It uses the U3 autoload procedure to automatically and silently steal the crumbs behind your ears.
