I have lately seen reports as news items telling us to be aware of what USB memory sticks we buy to install into our USB ports.
I mean, how can anyone tell a clean one from a spy one? Do we just plug it in and hope for the best?
They are saying that you can inadvertently introduce spyware into your computer that can remotely download not only your banking details but the passwords to open them.
I'm only small fry, but in the light of the latest announcements about the massive loss of information from the defense industries, one would have to wonder if this is partly what happened to them?
Would someone like to comment about this ?
