Quote - A few weeks ago I found a flash drive in my building. I was on my way out and put it into my purse and promptly forgot about it. I found it today and decided to see if anything was on it that identified the owner.

Err, unless you have a non-Windows operating system to view it with, I wouldn't stick someone else's geek stick into any Windows-based computer  that I owned if I were you...

Many companies hire folks to do penetration and security testing on their systems... and a common trick (by both testers and hacker types) is to leave a geek stick laying around where employees can get at it. Windows, being the most common OS, is the most targeted.

It only takes a quick jack-in to compromise your computer that way.
