How To Make Money & Pwn Concert Fan’s Computers

So, it appears the latest craze in music is to sell live recorded versions of concerts at the concert and share them with others. Can you say “sweet new endpoint security attack vector”. Instead of just scattering your drives around a parking lot, why not bring them to a live concert and sell them to unsuspecting concert goers and then let them do the work for you by spreading the USB virus love around to their friends drives like a bad case of the crabs. Not only do you pwn a whole lot of computers, but you could also make a buck at the same time.

You could actually run an app that streams a recorded mp3, this could then distract the owner of the system while processes run in the background.I might be conducting a little experiment at the next concert I attend to see if I can just get drives to ping back home and let you know the results.
