Well, there are times when you can’t differentiate between a mad
imagination or a genius innovation.
While reading this, you will face a
similar dilemma. A Russian team of engineers is raising money on Indiegogo crowdfunding
to create a device that would protect your data by- wait for it-
killing your USB ports, or may be just destroying your PC’s motherboard!
Aptly named ‘USB Killer’, the $99 dongle will electrocute and break
your USB ports as soon as you insert the stick into it. This, the
creators say, is the last line of defence in your data
security. You can use the USB Killer in situations like a break-in (if
your data is more important than you and your family’s life) or if your
wife suddenly finds a pen drive full of your wild photos, then you save
your life with the USB Killer.
The team has a goal of $10,000 and has got 13 backers with $1,234 USD as of now.
While you can use various software to hide and safeguard your data, the USB Killer is advised by the creators to be used in an emergency (you have to think of the extreme situation that you could find yourself in before buying this messiah of your data).
