> In one test of how well a USB scam can work, Trustwave planted five USB drives decorated with the targeted company’s logos in the vicinity of the organization’s building. Two of the five “lost & found” drives were opened at the organization. One of the openings even enabled the researchers to glimpse software employed to control the organization’s physical security. https://www.redteamsecure.com/blog/usb-drop-attacks-the-danger-of-lost-and-found-thumb-drives/ https://www.redteamsecure.com/blog/usb-drop-attacks-the-dang...
They are used to great effect in pentesting. I think it's natural to see a drive and think "Oh no, I need to get this back to a coworker."
