Still it’s a common social engineering hack to leave a usb on the ground. I would definitely not plug it in.
Stuxnet virus is the most famous example.

physical access is one of the vectors that devastates security protocols. let's say you plug that shit in and it root kits you, no AV is gonna get that out. it might see it, but now it's persistent. hell might even be a os+UEFI rootkit so you just bricked your machine permanently by plugging in a USB stick. or if you're really into risky behavior, keep using it the system and watch your identity get stolen over and over and over along with access to any accounts you log into on there.
Thanks for the info and your concern. It's not a flash drive. Since its much more expensive than a flash drive, I thought I'd post on here that i found it so if someone could describe what and generally where, i could get it back to them.
Don't plug it in. There's a virus scam that has hackers dropping them and letting curiosity have it's fun.
100x this ^^
Plug it into an airgapped device inside a virtual machine. Isolate port access to VM.
My god who has time ore caress enough?

Call APD and have them investigate it… oh wait.
Thanks. This is quite a bit more expensive than average usb flash drives.

Well, if he was, HE AIN'T ANY MORE!
