Are you looking for an unsuspecting place in your home where you can comfortably hide the USB Flash drive that stores all your secret data?
Here’s a simple method that may ring a bell - it uses a torn USB cable for camouflage. Most would pass it as a good-for-nothing cable though internally, it acts as a perfect safe-house for your USB stick.
All you need is a USB drive, some adhesive, a sharp knife and an old USB "A-B" cable (that will house the drive). Then jump to Windell Oskay for detailed instructions.

Wicked, great idea, it will be very difficult to know the is a USB storage key in there.

Yes, its quite risky, as it could get thrown out. Similar thing happened with me.I had kept a flatpin to round pin converter attached to such a cut cable with flat pin, where you can not make out the attached converter, and is seen as its integral part of cut cable. So it got thrown away as waste cut cable.

It is risky for getting it thrown away. I had such an experience. I had kept a flat pin to round pin converter attached to such a cut wire with flat pin. And the converter was so nicely fitted that it looked like part of the cable. And got thrown away as useless cut cable.
