>>PlugX USB malware
In this latest iteration, researchers found that it can go almost undetected even on the latest version of Windows, to the point where malicious files “can only be viewed on a Unix-like OS or by mounting the USB device in a forensic tool.”
It hides files by using a certain Unicode character, stopping Windows Explorer and the command shell from showing users the USB directory structure, effectively hiding files that it has copied from its host. It has been found to target primarily Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word files.<<
