The 7th comic in our series is a timely reminder of the risks of using USB storage devices from unknown sources or external parties, as they may be infected by malware. Once connected to your computer, the compromised USB device can automatically install malicious software that can steal sensitive information, corrupt files, or even take control of the entire system. To transfer files from one device to another, please use NUS file sharing solutions like Dropbox or Teams.

Please contact NUS IT Care at 6516 2080 or ITCare@nus.edu.sg should you have any questions.
