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

Comments

It's good practice to avoid plugging anything you don't trust into a USB port (whether it's a memory stick or not -- even just a plain cable presents a potential risk). But in your case, I agree with slater. You're probably fine, but maybe do a scan of your machine and keep an eye on things for a while.
