Social Engineering Experiment Tests USB Drive Security Risks in Luxembourg

A social engineering experiment conducted in Luxembourg involved distributing 250 lost USB drives in public spaces such as streets, parking lots, and shopping centers. The test, led by Didier Barzin (CISO in a hospital and author of Mercator) and Cédric Mauny (President of CLUSIL), aimed to measure how many of the drives would be plugged in by unsuspecting individuals. The initiative was organized under the auspices of CLUSIL, a Luxembourgish cybersecurity association. No specific results or dates were disclosed in the available content. The experiment highlights human behavior risks associated with untrusted removable media.
