Thumb Drives, external hard drives, and all manner of accessories have become ubiquitous throughout the modern world. While they are useful and convenient, it is essential to exercise caution when plugging in unknown USB devices into your computer, and it is important to highlight the potential risks associated with plugging in unknown accessories into your devices.
What harm can they do?
What do I do if I find an unclaimed USB Device?
Any unclaimed USB device, particularly data storage devices like thumb drives and external hard drives, should be secured and turned into ITS at Bennett 104 or to the Washburn University Police Department at Morgan Hall 135.
Stay vigilant!
