What's On This Mystery USB Drive?

What's On This Mystery USB Drive?

Today a collection of gaming outlets across America recieved an envelope with a USB and with no return address...


When viewing the audio file in Microsoft Word, these lines of code are revealed.

00000000 00000210 00000825 000000000037474B 00000000 0016FDA0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000TCON

A person on the audio file reads out the letters below:

MOD ZZZ JNQRYD3FRP

The separate word document also only has these six words posted.

Cryptography

Isotope

Philanthropy

Hydrogen

Ember

Rebirth

Could this be viral marketing for the New Fallout game?

The code has been deciphered into this website: www.gknova6.com/
