I recently ordered a small model engine from China. When the package arrived as I opened it up and pulled all the bubble wrap off. A USB stick was mixed in with the Bubble wrap.
Hmmm I had not ordered the USB stick. So naturally I am concerned about this. I have not plugged it in anywhere. I do plan on setting up a standalone machine I can wipe when done with and then scan this USB device and see what it has on it if anything.
But sure makes me wonder how many people get packages like this that came from china with a “Free” USB Stick. How many people USE it with out thinking?
