"IBM has apologised after supplying a malware-infected USB stick to delegates 
of this week's IBM AusCERT security conference.

The unlovely gift was supplied to an unknown number of delegates to the Gold 
Coast, Queensland conference who visited IBM's booth.
Big Blue does not identify the strain of malware involved in the attack beyond 
saying it's a type of virus widely detected for at least two years
which takes advantage of Windows autorun to spread, as a copy of IBM's email 
apology published by the Beast Or Buddha blog explains."
