Baiting
Baiting is a type of social engineering attack in which a malicious individual leaves malware-infected removable media such as a USB drive or optical disc lying around in plain view. The hope is that someone will find the media and insert it into a computer, thereby infecting the system with malware.
Warning!
To avoid falling victim to a baiting attack, never insert any type of removable media into your computer unless you are absolutely sure it is safe. If you find a USB drive or disc lying around, exercise caution before inserting it into your computer. If possible, inspect the media for any signs of tampering. Also, be sure to keep your antivirus software up to date to help protect your system against any malware that may be present on the media.
