a woman<\/a> who asked her friend to watch her backpack for a moment.<\/p>\nIt contained a USB hack disguised as a regular drive.<\/p>\n
Out of curiosity, her friend plugged it into her gaming PC\u2026 and the result was destructive.<\/p>\n
Read the full story below for all the details.<\/p>\n
I am 20F, and my friend is 21F.<\/p>\n
I always carry a USB hacker in my backpack.<\/p>\n
It looks like any other thumb drive.<\/p>\n
Except I stuck a tiny devil face sticker on it so I know it\u2019s the dangerous one.<\/p>\n
This young woman asked her friend to take her bag home.<\/p>\n
I keep it on me because I still live at home, and my parents are super nosy.<\/p>\n
If I ever left it on my desk, they\u2019d definitely pick it up and plug it into their laptop to \u201csee what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I had to leave campus in a rush and asked my friend to watch my bag for a bit.<\/p>\n
I ended up not having time to come back, so I just texted her to take it home, and I\u2019d grab it today.<\/p>\n
Her friend snooped through her things and plugged her USB killer into her gaming PC.<\/p>\n
She said cool. She gets home, admits she got curious, and started looking through my stuff.<\/p>\n
She finds the devil sticker USB, thinks it\u2019s my normal drive, and plugs it into her gaming PC to see what files I have.<\/p>\n
The computer instantly dies, motherboard and PSU completely gone.<\/p>\n
Now, she\u2019s mad at me, saying I\u2019m reckless for carrying something like that.<\/p>\n
Now, her friend is demanding she replace her computer.<\/p>\n
She says I need to buy her a whole new setup.<\/p>\n
Even though she knows she shouldn\u2019t have been digging around in my bag in the first place.<\/p>\n
I feel bad her PC is dead, but come on, don\u2019t snoop and don\u2019t plug random drives into your computer.<\/p>\n
AITA?<\/p>\n

This one calls it \u201cweirdo behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, short and straightforward.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some curiosities are better left unplugged.<\/p>\n
