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

    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.

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

    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
  • @labonnemedia
    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...
  • And this is why people use virtual machines to check sketchy shit out. Awesome video! Thanks for taking one for the team!

    "Its writing data to nowhere. Thin air." Ten seconds later: "All my data is gone!"
  • Worth pointing out that the package says "USB Cable" and nothing about flashdrive.
  • @Juleszzzzz
    So basically, a 10 min video of a """"2TB USB""" magically deleting files, without even explaining how even the magic works... :/
  • @caigedxntcare
    the reason there’s no disc space is they can actually program the usb drive to say whatever space it holds even if it ACTUALLY holds nothing or even less then what is advertised.

    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
  • @73gtoguy
    The malware just set all your files to "hidden". They are still there, you just can not see them.
  • This is a great tool to get away from the fbi with deleting everything on your computer with a simple plug in and restart.
  • @JonnMcDude
    "First up it says it's waterproof. We're gonna test that". No you did not.

    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.
