Interviewing industry Professional Anyascii

Hello and welcome back to USB our Guest, Cyber Security tips.

I’m Theo, here to help you break down cyber security news and hacks and how they affect you. However, today I am interviewing Anyaacii a Linux in HPC Administrator.

We recorded the interview in an open discord voice channel with video while monitoring chat with Text-to-speech developed by Security_Live.

Anya was kind enough to go through my questions in advance and answer them at length. https://github.com/theo2612/NewObsidian/blob/main/Podcast/USB%20our%20guest/Ep%2046%20-%20ANYAscii.md

A collab 3 years in the making! Anyascii and my schedule line up to finally sit down and chat. I've been a fan of Anya for long time, ever since we learned that we both cut our teeth on linux at the same time on the same learning platform! I'm a huge fan of her learning on stream style.

Flash Drives

Flash Drives

Never plug a USB flash drive into your computer that is not your own.

Malicious Code could be saved on the flash drive and programmed to run keyloggers or backdoors when plugged in.

Some of these devices appear to be USB flash drives but instead are microcontrollers designed to run files or control you computer without your permission.

As a best practice, never plug in a USB flash drive to your device if you don't own it.
