Comment on Ask HN: How concerned should we be about USB security?

Comments

Extremely concerned. The military has outlawed USB storage devices for over 20 years.

Personally I still use USB storage devices in limited contexts, like a source of music in my car or for installing a new OS.

The DoD is more interested in keeping data from leaking than keeping malware out. DoD has air gapped networks to prevent leaks mostly.
