The new device "cares" about the safety of your computer, destroying its USB-port

We've already seen a lot of controversial campaigns on crowdsfunding grounds, but this one can become a new leader. A Russian startup collects money for a USB Killer - a $ 99 key that will save your computer from thieves ... closing its USB port. Yes, you pay money to damage your computer.

Developers USB Killer warn that this device can damage the motherboard of your computer, turning it into a heap of useless iron. It is assumed that the device will be useful in emergency situations - for example, when someone breaks into your house or office. Nevertheless, something tells us that you will have something to worry about, except for the safety of your personal information, if someone aggressive is so physically close.

The device leaves more questions than answers. Why can not you disable the USB port by simply sealing it with chewing gum? What happens if the child accidentally inserts the device into the daddy's computer? What should I do if the computer has more than one USB port? What about a much more serious threat from the Internet? This is a good concept, but better buy software that does not allow an attacker to read the information that they can steal.
