WTF are you on about?

Seriously? 21 downvotes? Is everyone in the piracy Lemmy completely ignorant and unaware of USB drops? Do you guys not get information security training at work?

I'm talking about https://www.osibeyond.com/blog/usb-drop-attacks-cause-cybersecurity-incidents - USB drops and how that'd be the ideal way I would do it, if I were going to.

I was basically making a story about how OPs colleague could be using cracked programs so the ransomware he coded didn't get him charged, but instead only fired.

I watched Office Space recently and I was high when I wrote it so maybe it didn't come read as well as I thought it did.

P.S. .ws files can be as dangerous as .exe and .com/bat/PS1 if that's what's confusing people.

I’m failing to draw a connection between what OP said about his friend, and the rant you wrote.

Well op said "colleague" rather than friend, which I point out only because that is presumably why they made the connection to work.They're referring to using pirated software at work, which could introduce ransomware without you knowing it. Ransomware can remain dormant for extended periods of time, giving it a better chance to evade security controls and spread to other machines.
