To most of you this is no longer news. The DOD issued orders that USB drives and other removable devices are no longer to be used. Through autorun features and the presence of some nasty malware the decision was made to prohibit the use of the devices in an attempt to contain a malware outbreak. |

Back in the days, before USB, flash drivers, memory sticks, etc... We had this thing called FD in 3.5 and 5.25 sizes. If back then malware manged to spread via such primitive media (by today's standards), what prevents the history to repeat its self with today. It has happened, it does now and it always will. That doesn't mean we doomed, lost, can't fix it. Simply apply common sense and educate. For us the IT geeks it's a given but not the end user.
