This report warns that removable media (USB drives and other portable storage) remain a persistent attack and data-exfiltration vector, documents MUSTANG PANDA’s evolving USBFect USB-worm campaigns (2023–2025) that delivered loaders like Claimloader and ColorDrama and LingerRAT payloads, cites real-world observations of infections across multiple geographies and insider theft cases, and recommends CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection and Falcon Device Control to prevent unauthorized device access and stop sensitive-data leakage.
