ifyou have access to a linux install, you should be able to see if you have files not visible to windows. they will be prefixed with an ascii[unicode] character that blinds windows file finder.
this USB exploit is a second prong to an attack and could possibly use the USB to hold a wedge into a back door, as well as snarphing files.
this is a demonstration of why firmware custody of trust must be unbroken

It's like we're back in 1993, with boot-sector virii spreading via floppy disks.
Sometimes I really wish there was a huge U.S. Dept. of Software Security...with no real purpose in this world beyond making life hell for Microsoft's C-suite.

Twice now, the ASCP disabled setting has reverted. Have yet to try setting a BIOS password, and I did not try this setting earlier so can not confirm it is this USB device messing with it, maybe I should update my BIOS
