There is a new type of ransomware attack on the rise. Threat actors are mailing out USB drives that contain code that could install malware or emulate keystrokes to run commands.
Packages that contain these USB drives typically include messaging that encourages the recipient to connect the USB drive to their computer.
For example, the package may include a message claiming to be a COVID-19 warning from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or a message from Amazon, offering a gift card with the code being on the USB key.
Do not be fooled by these impersonations. Please be mindful of any type of devices you would connect to your computer especially ones you did not purchase.
