Hide Your Data With A Fake Phone Jack

If you owe the "IRA" money, they just kneecap you, so hiding your data isn't going to help.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

The cable is clearly the weak link here. Would it be that much more difficult to hide a NAS device in the wall?

p.s. Isn't there a rule about linking to the original source? http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden_USB_Storage/

Cool hack but basically useless... You could just hide the USB key in the wall.

Also, you might want to encrypt the data too.

You could just hide it in the wall, but it wouldn't be easily accessible. With modded usb->rj-11 cord I can easily access my usb key, and have it hidden when I'm not accessing it. Of course, if someone finds my modded usb->rj-ll cord, they will catch on quickly.

Indeed. In fact, putting the USB device on the premises itself is a problem, as someone could simply disassemble the wall to find it.

If only someone had invented a way to securely transfer data from one computer to another without the need to transfer physical media. Now, that would be a game-changing invention, I tell you. Probably a startup or seven in that idea...
