USB Killer… 2.0!

Do you remember, back in March, when I wrote about using a USB key that could fry a computer and actually make it catch on fire?

Well, it’s been improved upon, version 2.0 was created. It works super fast as you can see in the 5 second mark in the video below, he plugs in the USB device, about 2 seconds later the motherboard is fried.

It’s assumed that this will be for sale or instructions put out on how to make it yourself. Sounds scary right? Realistically, there will be only handfuls out in the world as production to make these would take a lot of time. The common person would also not be able to just build a USB killer, even if they had all the parts.
