When Adam Savage goes to conventions, he's often given USB thumb drives by fans and has to decline them. You don’t know what could be on those drives, and worse yet, the very act of plugging one of those drives in could initiate a malicious program. We invited the security experts from ThreatLocker to the cave to share examples of malicious USB devices they’ve encountered in the field, including someone as seemingly innocuous as a USB charging cable.

Thanks to ThreatLocker for sponsoring today's video. Learn more at threatlocker.com
