Weird Usb Found

[Mammolino]

Hey so the other day I found a normal looking USB and plugged it into my computer. It got detected for a slip second and then disappeared but the USB it self was heating up really quickly like in 15-20 seconds it was hot. So i decided to open it up and um it was more or less all plastic and didn't look like a usual USB so does anyone know what this is?

Looks like USB connector without anything attached to itself

@Mammolino 
there's no circuit board?

I'm confused on how it is getting hot. It has nothing to get electrical resistance on. (compared to a bigger electronic)

Can you split the plastic in two?

yeah

The longer it's in the hotter it gets. If you rub your hands together for a bit and feel that heat it would be similar

All of you should google USB attacks. There is a 80% chance the OP is compromised.

That sounds like electrical resistance, which would imply a logic board, but it doesn't have a logic board. This is truly something strange you've found

I knew about USB attacks, but it doesn't have any storage to put the attack onto, which is what threw me off.

How'd that get plugged into your PC? That's your personal computer at home right?

HID emulation or Serial or RJ45, look up the bash bunny or rubber ducky or lan turtle by Hak5

 No I shouldn't 

Yes you should, or USBs will come and kill your computer in your sleep

Yeah I found it in my house when I was cleaning my room

It could be built into the USB head itself, where the plastic end is a way to fool the victim into thinking it's nothing. There are USB controller destroyers where it looks like a USB flash drive and then it pumps massive amount of voltage killing it. Looks like your system is f*cked up.

If that's the case OP better start testing the usb ports he plugged that into.

Ports still work maybe I'll try to see if i can open the head but I dont want to ruin it

The Dalai Lama avatar fits this topic perfectly after OP destroys their entire computer and have their identity stolen.
