Why bother with traditional social engineering, when you can let a USB drive do it for you?

It was really amusing to watch the reaction of the employees who found a USB drive. You know they plugged them into their computers the minute they got to their desks.

I immediately called my guy that wrote the Trojan and asked if anything was received at his end. Slowly but surely info was being mailed back to him.

So much for the traditional network perimeter.
