Infectious
RifRifRif was a student in school who had to make a video for a project the previous year. On the day they were supposed to share their videos, she was unable to make it to school so instead she gave her teacher her USB drive. They both decided that she would present her project with another class. After some time, she received the drive back with a grade.
The moment the student inserted her USB into her computer, she noticed that her drive had a virus on it. She attempted to recover her files and continued with her day. She completely forgot about the incident as she was preparing to present her project with another class a few days later.
As the first student got ready to present their project, she noticed that her files looked similar to the ones who were infected by the virus. She warned the student not to open the files as it will activate a virus. She offered to help the student by fixing it after class.
The same occurred with the following student and the user realized the computer was the source affecting all the drives. She explained what was happening to the class but as she was doing so, she noticed the teacher inserting another USB drive.
Alarmed, she tried to warn the teacher of the virus but she was met with an “I don’t care.” The teacher spent the entire lesson inserting various drives and opening the files one by one.
The issue got resolved eventually, but a lot of computers were infected by the virus. This caused the school to install an antivirus on all the computers on the school’s premises.
The virus infected the school on a large scale! The user wrote that she was not aware of the way the virus affected the computers but she was thankful the problem got resolved before they had to find out.
