    Why people are saying that the files being deleted indicate a backdoor? This is clearly to be executed while having access to the laptop. So it’s not like I’m tricking someone into connecting the USB drive and after the PC is infected I want to get rid of the evidence. If some FBI agent is using a USB drive to unlock a laptop at work, what’s the point of making the drive single use?

    This could also be part of the PoC created by the researcher, not part of the backdoor.
