This is a legit thing.

The article posted:

“Staff secretly dropped computer discs and USB thumb drives in the parking lots of government buildings and private contractors. Of those who picked them up, 60 percent plugged the devices into office computers, curious to see what they contained. If the drive or CD case had an official logo, 90 percent were installed.

Think of 10 people sitting around you at work. Each one individually finds a USB drive labelled "*boss's name* - PRIVATE" or "*company* Payroll Reports" or "bill & tina nude".

How many of those 10 people do you see plugging the USB drive in to their computer at work?

(if you guess less than 90% you're wrong)

Well, it's not always sheer ignorance--sometimes people are genuinely trying to help. You know what they say about the road to hell, though...

"Oh, there's a set of keys by this car. I think that Explorer belongs to Tina in accounting. I'll run them over to her."

"Thanks, but those aren't my keys. There's a USB drive on the keychain, though--let's plug it in and see if we can figure out who they belong to."

Put it this way: if your company doesn't have suitable protection against viruses on a thumbdrive, then the chances are that the Financial Director infected them about 3 years ago anyway.

Virus existing in a file on thumbdrive is one thing, but these days there are more sophisticated attacks. Thumbdrive's firmware can be modified, so it acts as USB keyboard, and inputs commands to download and execute real payload once plugged in.

Let's be honest, you could drop a number of USB sticks labeled "Stuxnet virus" and someone would probably plug it in. Not everyone likes their job or cares about their employer.

Thing is though I run TempleOS on all my machines. No way no how no virus can get at my poo poo.

e: srspost I've actually heard people in the biz say "our security model is that we trust our users not to be stupid and evil", to which my response is "are you certain that's not a bit too naive for your business case? And are you aware that users' computers are sometimes used without the user's knowledge and not always in the interest of the user?" by which I mean Jesus shat you guys are a walking lawsuit.
