I Bought a $3 2TB USB Drive and Got More Than Just Malware

I bought a $3 2TB Micro SD Card From Ebay, not only was this one of the "nicest" scams especially for this price. Today we figure out just how bad it is. How much malware it includes. And how difficult to it is to detect.

A man bought a 2TB USB drive from China. This is what happened to his lungs.

"It says it is waterproof, we're gonna test that"


No waterproof test

As someone who lives in constant fear of data loss this video was like watching a horror movie, and i mean this in the kindest way possible

9:58 This actually is a real USB-Stick. It also has capacity. Probably around 4GB or maybe 8GB. This is a very typical design used in small USB-sticks. You could try flashing an original firmware on it. Take a look at the device managers properties for this stick and research the management chip of the stick. You can find the tools required for some sticks on the internet. Would be interesting to see what this stick actually is.

This is like buying the air inside a bag of chips.

Worth pointing out that the package says "USB Cable" and nothing about flashdrive.

He reminds me of the guy that we used to troll at work by making his desktop wallpaper a screenshot of his desktop and hiding all his icons...

The malware just set all your files to "hidden". They are still there, you just can not see them.

"First up it says it's waterproof. We're gonna test that".
No you did not.

So a nice $3 metal thingie and as a bonus some digital AIDS for your PC. Noice.

[dulago]

It was a bit torturing to see you plugging that clearly suspicious pendrive on your computer while conected to your network

[AndrewKidd]

The smile when he said “yeah all the files gone” felt. 😖

[ebthepcguy]

I'd plug it into a Linux machine and use Gparted to see if it has any hidden partitions.

Perfect gift for your most hated relatives.

Man, I wish I seen this before I brought my 800tb USB drive for 5.99 😔

[LukeJukeDuke]

I almost bought one of these things a few years back, saw the reviews and some said its legit and showed pictures but the actual storage was just around 10gb of storage instead of a whole terabyte. Now that i know more about computer and tech stuff i can avoid these types of scams.

Jay has discovered the rare and elusive "Write-Only Memory"

[bushisnottoblame]

His entire technical capability consists of being able to complete a purchase on eBay. Period. That is it. No sand boxing, no vm, no monitoring, no network segmentation, nothing. Just wow.
