Pendrive bombs being sent to journalists in Ecuador: Explosion happens as soon as it is installed in the computer, for the first time such a method of attack came to the fore

 Explosive pendrives are being sent to journalists in the South American country of Ecuador. As soon as journalists put the pendrive in their laptop or desktop, it explodes. These pendrives have been sent to more than 5 journalists in Ecuador.

On March 20, there was an explosion at the office of Ecuador's local TV channel, Equavisa. On investigation, it was found that this pendrive was sent to a journalist, Lenin Artiada. As soon as he plugged it into his laptop, it exploded. No one was seriously injured in the blast.

Police suspects a suspect
Journalist Lenin Arteida is known for his investigative news related to crime and corruption. Police have identified a suspect in this case. However, in view of the seriousness of the matter, the information related to the accused has not been shared. According to the police, such a method of attack has been seen for the first time.

If the entire RDX had exploded, the explosion would have been bigger.
According to Equavisa's report, there was a capsule inside this pendrive, which was filled with RDX. During the blast, only half of the RDX present in the pendrive exploded. If the entire RDX had exploded, the explosion would have been much bigger. It is believed that RDX got an electric charge when the pendrive was plugged into the computer. Due to this, it got activated and exploded.

Journalists of 3 more channels got pendrives
According to Fundmedias NGO, journalists of 3 more channels named TC, Radio AXA and Teleyamajonas got explosive pendrives. He also inserted the pendrive in the computer but it did not explode. Police said that these pen drives were installed in the adapter instead of the computer. Due to this, RDX could not get enough electric charge and explosion did not happen.

A note related to the political movement was found with the pendrive bomb,
officials investigating said that journalist Milton Perez of Teleyamajonas channel also found a note along with the pendrive in the package. It was written - The information present in the pendrive will make a big disclosure about Ecuador's political movement Corizmo. If this information is useful to you, then we can talk about it further. I will contact you again. This package came from the city of Los Riaz in Ecuador.

According to the Pendrive news agency AP, created to suppress the voice of journalists
, 5 such pendrives have been sent so far. One of these was intercepted before reaching the generalist. While the remaining three have been taken to the safe authorities. Ecuadorian officials say that this pendrive has been designed to suppress the voice of journalists. Whereas Fundmedia's NGO said that this is worrying and cannot be accepted.
