Please permit me to share this personal experience. I was at the Computer Village Ikeja recently for a particular transaction. I was about to leave when I remembered that that I needed at least a 2 gb SD card.
I am always choosy regarding where I pick my stuff from, but that day I just felt so tired and before you say jack!, I had found myself negotiating with a woman behind a micro table at the end of Ola Ayeni Street.
I eventually bought a 4gb sd card.
Now, I needed to transfer some audio materials for personal edification from my google drive account to the card. This required me to plug the sd card to my laptop. Upon opening the card, I saw about 5 files named after some popular Nigerian contemporary musicians' hit songs. This could certain arouse some sort of curiosity from a fan of such songs.
Thank goodness, the antivirus on my laptop quickly alerted and identified those files as hacking tools and they were immediately neutralized.

I kept on imagining afterwards, if only I had put the memory card straight into my phone, it could have snatched all my financial details and other sensitive information.
My conclusion is that our yahoo boys may have initiated a 'collabo' with many nondescript traders to sell memory card preloaded with hacking tools to unsuspecting members of the public.

Please beware of WHAT you buy, and beware of WHERE you buy it.

Peace.

Ma guy you too dey panic

Everyone knows that when you buy a storage device (memory stick, flash disk, disk drive) , you format it first before use
