Ilascu, Ionut (2020-03-27). "FBI: Hackers Sending Malicious USB Drives & Teddy Bears via USPS". Bleeping Computer. This is not a one-off incident, though. The FBI warns that FIN7 has mailed these packages via USPS to numerous businesses (retail, restaurant, hotel industry) where they target employees in human resources, IT, or executive management departments. These packages sometimes include "gifts" like teddy bears or gift cards. These USB drives are configured to emulate keystrokes that launch a PowerShell command to retrieve malware from server controlled by the attacker. Then, the USB device contacts domains or IP‌ addresses in Russia.
Gatlan, Sergiu (2022-01-07). "FBI: Hackers use BadUSB to target defense firms with ransomware". Bleeping Computer. FIN7 operators impersonated Amazon and the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) to trick the targets into opening the packages and connecting the USB drives to their systems. Since August, reports received by the FBI say that these malicious packages also contain letters about COVID-19 guidelines or counterfeit gift cards and forged thank you notes, depending on the impersonated entity.
