A new type of threat: the physical destruction of your computer.
The USB Killer, which was created by a Russian, acts as a cyberweapon, destroying a computer by sending a bolt of electricity through its USB interface.
It is not real clear, but it is suspected of sending a minus 220 volt charge from a capacitor through the USB device.
The new video shows the device, called USB Killer 2.0, in action.
Still, the concept may — and should — make you wary of using USB sticks from unknown sources.
