If it’s a USB stick you don’t trust, you should always be careful. There’s malicious hardware that looks like a USB stick, but pretends to be a keyboard, making malicious inputs. Or hardware which contains condensators that charge up from your USB port and then send a strong electrical pulse into your PC, potentially frying electronics.
Maybe it’s called ‘USB Killer’ (Please Correct Me If I Misunderstood), and thanks for your warning, But i am dealing with a normal USB flash drive.
Yeah, USB-Killer is one of the products that realizes the condensator concept.
