but using it without cleaning it first can still make that person an indirect-accomplish, that person is still helping the hacker without its knowledge

its called Social Engineering... some hacker do that to gain access or information....a deception to trick a person from indirectly helping the hacker...

some may use coersion to force individual from helping them, usually they look for leverage that could coerce that person...

anyways.... HACKING and SOCIAL ENGINEERING usually works together...

This is what happened -- social engineering the usb way.

It started when a USB flash drive infected by a foreign intelligence agency was left in the parking lot of a Department of Defense facility at a base in the Middle East. It contained malicious code and was put into a USB port from a laptop computer that was attached to United States Central Command.

The cyber spent nearly 14 months cleaning the worm, named agent.btz, from military networks. Agent.btz, a variant of the SillyFDC worm, has the ability "to scan computers for data, open backdoors, and send through those backdoors to a remote command and control server."

its not necessary to be a genius to become a hacker... all it takes is your familiar of the network you are going to attack...
