USB malware isn't new. In the wild, we've seen cases like Stuxnet (2010) & Flame (2012), where USB devices were used to infiltrate & disrupt systems. Such attacks exploit the ubiquitous nature of USBs & users' tendency to trust them. We need to be more vigilant than ever!
BadUSB is an advanced form of USB malware, exploiting the programmable nature of USB devices' firmware. By modifying the firmware, attackers can make a seemingly innocuous USB device into a malicious one that can bypass security measures & execute evil tasks to steal your coins.
