Sorry if this has been asked or qualifies as a "lame question" but can something like a USB stick shortcut virus infect a game console like the Series X?
I understand that the dreaded shortcut virus is a combination of a Trojan and worm but it was designed to infect computers, phones and laptops... Not game consoles, is that right?
I format my usb stick every time before downloading something on it and then plug it directly into my console to access video and audio files via the Media Player app... Am I safe from the virus?
There's mixed answers on Google so I'd like to hear some firsthand accounts.
On a side note, the Xbox one/Series consoles have a different file system so I don't think a usb virus can breach the console's system files or OS in any way, or cause performance/operation issues - can it?
