minus-square@A_AlinkEnglish21•6 months ago (…) computer worm designed to spread from computer to computer through USB drives.
minus-square@7u5k3nlinkEnglish34•6 months agoIt absolutely works. My company spends a ton of time and resources in an attempt to prevent folks from plugging in random USB drives. Classes to user restrictions. Amazing how some folk are.
minus-squarenakallinkfedilink10•6 months agoOf course, but OP wanted to implicate that this worm stays local in a network. You need an USB stick to carry it over.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•6 months agoI’m pretty sure the word you want is “imply.” Although what the Russians are doing with corrupt USBs is a crime, OP isn’t implicated in it.
minus-square@A_AlinkEnglish2•6 months agoThis is just about right : in fact I wanted to know how we are exposed (or not exposed) to this. …to know what we have to do to limit exposure.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•6 months agoThe company just doesn’t want me know what’s in these usb drives, surely.
