Malware can infect your computer, access data and personal information and the installation of unwanted software. But this is not the first time a device that comes with the installed malware. Previously, digital photo frames have been guilty of infecting computers of unsuspecting customers when they are purchased from unreliable suppliers.

Any device that can charge via USB is also likely to contain malware can infect machines. So do not always go for the cheapest option available online, make sure you can trust the company selling the first products.
