BadUSB is a malware that targets USB devices.The BadUSB malware isn't stored on the user-accessible storage partition, but rather on the firmware of a USB device – including Keyboards, phones and flash drives. This means that it's virtually undetectable to conventional anti-virus packages, and can survive the drive being formatted.
