So, Spotify sent a mysterious USB stick to journalists to promote a podcast (I’ll assume) about internet security/hacking. The journalists who plugged it in received a message saying they’d been hacked - I assume highlighting the entirety of the this article’s point, I.e. if you don’t know that you shouldn’t plug unknown USB sticks in, then this podcast is for you. So TechCrunch missed the fact that both were highlighting the same point. Spotify can send all the random USBs they want... journalists shouldn’t plug them in without taking proper precautions, as TC did.
