asUSBDevice - modified USB drive

A USB device can be used for data storage. It can also be used to conduct an electric current for recharging batteries and smartphones. A new virus is now circulating that redirects the USB electric flow back to its parent device, thus destroying it. "USB Killer is a modified USB drive that will destroy the computer when you insert it into the USB drive of the computer. "

I hope the VisualNEO Win plugin "asUSBDevice" must have a safety switch to use a flash stick only for data storage, and not for recharging. But what is it?

Thanks

To avoid the added cost of web hosting, some people prefer to distribute their app on a portable memory storage device instead of online.  But until this USB Killer threat is resolved, it is probably better to distribute your app on an SD card instead of a USB flash stick.

In my opinion not a good idea. Note that nowadays there are many free and very cheap hosting services.
Anyway very interesting information.

Thank you!

Some people do not have internet access. For search - rescue and other emergencies portable storage is the only way.  Who knows what the power grids will do with the current global price hikes... I got a solar power pack just in case...
