Hacked! drive is a USB flash drive that is designed to resemble a torn USB cable. The intention is to make it less noticeable that it’s a USB flash drive that might contain some important data.
As we know that USB flash drives are so handy these days, and the size is so small, which we’ll always tend to forget and misplace it somewhere. And this will make it easily fall into the hands of your rivals, who can then get all the confidential data that you have on the drive.
The Hacked! drive is definitely a good idea, which it looks like a slashed cable. When it’s left unattended on the work desk, anyone passes by wouldn’t have noticed that it’s a USB flash drive that stores some important data. The Hacked! drive has a storage capacity of 2GB. It could be the most efficient method to protect the data stored on it, by deceiving others that it doesn’t look like a USB flash drive.
Most people will not give a damn of a torn USB cable, so it should remain safe even when you’ve forgotten and left it on your work desk, when you’re rushing and packing home. And I’m sure the next day, when you get back to your work desk, it still remains intact.
Anyway, I don’t like the idea of carrying a piece of torn cable around. As it’ll give negative impression to others that you’re just a messy guy who loves junk.

It gives you a poor taste. Or may be people will think you are a crazy geeks carrying torn cable. As if it’s stuck and you have no idea how to eject the torn piece! LOL!
