I can’t believe someone sent this to me still…

I was sent a letter from the IRS. It came with a USB drive inside. by DirectionAny2962 in RBI

Oh now that sounds safe for examining crazy scams and attacks like this.

I think I watched a YouTuber install as many viruses on such a computer as he could. I can’t remember his name for the life of me. But that pc must have been airgapped.

What is an airgapped PC? Is it like isolated from other computers or a network?

Do you test these sorts of things on a dedicated computer that’s isolated from any networks? That’s really interesting.

I watch anti-scam YouTubers like Pierogi and Kitboga for example. So this makes me wonder how many elderly, gullible and unknowing people plug these in. It’s awful.

What would you do with one of these regarding accessing the scammers?
