Beware of the USB Killer Stick!
If you cannot be bothered to watch the video, Elektor recommend connecting any unknown USB stick to your computer through a USB hub. That way if you are unfortunate you'll only kill the hub and not your PC.A USB killer stick looks like a normal USB stick (or thumb or pen drive), but instead of containing files and computer viruses, it contains malicious electronic circuitry. Such a stick tries to destroy the USB port or even the computer it is plugged into by injecting high voltages.
