So this is just a question that popped into my mind the other day, sorry if it doesn’t fit the community.

At the local pharmacy I noticed two USB ports on the back of the monitors they were using and I was thinking I could’ve easily gotten a RAT in there if I was more smart and malicious.

Similar places were banks or shops, sometimes ethernet ports as well.

Realistically, how dangerous is this? Thanks for any answers.

    Worth considering that a pharmacy will have cameras all over, so anyone screwing with USBs on their computer will likely be easily caught. It’s a pretty high-risk act with comparatively low chance of reward.
