Did anyone else catch whiff of this interesting little USB hack? The USB Hacksaw purportedly grabs all documents on connected (locally) USB drives and transmits the documents securely via email.

The USB Hacksaw is an evolution of the popular USB Switchblade that uses a modified version of USBDumper, Blat, Stunnel, and Gmail to automatically infect Windows PCs with a payload that will retriev documents from USB drives plugged into the target machine and securely transmit them to an email account. Proof of concept code shows how to deliver the payload instantly with a U3 autorun hack borrowed from the USB Switchblade on Windows 2000 or higher computers [...]

Time to go out and play right? Does anyone have a little free time to toy with the idea on their own [create a USB Hacksaw] and report back with results. I love all these little tricks / exploits available to Windows users.
