Business Insider: Kim Jong Un received a USB drive from South Korea's president with a blueprint for connecting North Korea with the world
* North Korean leader Kim Jong Un received a USB drive from South Korea's president during their summit last month at the demilitarized zone, multiple news outlets reported.
* The USB drive contained a presentation and an e-book with a blueprint for economic cooperation that could link North Korea to Russia, China, and Europe through trade and trains.
* The USB drive appears to provide further incentive for Kim to keep the agreements made at the inter-Korean summit.
* USB drives are regularly smuggled over the border into North Korea with South Korean and Western entertainment and news.
When North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stepped across the border last month to meet South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in, there was a historic handshake, a day full of symbolism, a much-lauded agreement, and countless drinks at dinnertime.
Moon also reportedly gave Kim one more thing: a USB drive.

I wonder how many advanced spyware was on that drive :P
Drive made in:
1. Russia
2. China
3. Indonesia
4. New Jersey
pick one
I doubt there would be any spyware on the drive. The parties are working towards peace. To do this goodwill must be built in various steps. To put any kind of spyware on this risks undermining what has been achieved so far for little to no upside benefit.
Now where was the drive made? If I were to hazard an educated guess, I would say China. That would only be an educated guess. I have no idea.
Well that wasn't that educated. SK make their own USB sticks... They are after all world leading in flash memory.
You're right they are a world leader in this sort of thing. I thought about it after I posted this. I stand corrected. Thank you.
