Miami Herald: ‘She lies to everyone’: Feds say Mar-a-Lago intruder had hidden-camera detector in hotel
A federal prosecutor argued in court Monday that Yujing Zhang, the Chinese woman arrested trying to enter President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, “lies to everyone she encounters,” adding that a search of her hotel room uncovered more than $8,000 in cash, as well as a “signal-detector” device used to reveal hidden cameras.
Found in the search: $7,500 in U.S. hundred-dollar bills and $663 in Chinese currency, in addition to nine USB drives, five SIM cards and other electronics, according to federal prosecutor Rolando Garcia. Signal detectors are portable devices that can detect radio waves, magnetic fields and hidden-camera equipment.
Prosecutors are treating the case as a national security matter and an FBI counterintelligence squad is investigating, sources familiar with the inquiry told the Miami Herald.

.... Secret Service agent Samuel Ivanovich, who interviewed Zhang on the day of her arrest, testified at the hearing. He stated that when another agent put Zhang’s thumb drive into his computer, it immediately began to install files, a “very out-of-the-ordinary” event that he had never seen happen before during this kind of analysis. The agent had to immediately stop the analysis to halt any further corruption of his computer, Ivanovich testified. The analysis is ongoing but still inconclusive, he said.
I have never seen or heard anything like that either. You have to open a file to have it installed on your computer. It never installs automatically. If this report is true, we are dealing with something that the public definitely does not have access to.

The invasion seems so blatantly amateurish that you have to wonder if she wasn't a decoy.
Agree with Mr. Huntley. Additionally, what idiot plugs a rogue thumb drive into ANY computer? Through wi-fi, it could corrupt every computer on the network or beyond.
Malicious programs have existed for years that automatically unpack when plugged into a Windows device that has automatic drive/ancillary recognition enabled; especially anything USB related.
