And what about USBs on offer at a conference ? (*).
I'll bet a *lot* of them get stuffed into work machines. I'm looking
at
a stylized chameleon I'm pretty sure I got at a zSymposium.
Shane -
I agree with you. If I picked it up at a conference or an 'official'
company function, I've never been concerned about the contents - but after
reading this article, I not so sure that I'll use one for work ever again.

I was on z/Series symposium and got pendrive with conference
materials... and virus.
What's more funny: the same virus were attached next year!
However after that second time everyone was informed about it and
apologized.
BTW: comparison to chewing gum is miss. No need for psycholigst to know
that it would be hard to find a person who want such gum even for money.
We don't chew our pendrives, our mouth is not USB port.
BTW2: As a part of my PC configuration I switch off autorun processing
for all drive letters and all device types (there are two separate
controls). I also protect my own USB sticks by creating autorun.inf
directory with some hard to delete content. That prevents most viruses
from creating their own autorun.inf file.
In the past there were pendrives with "read-only" switch. Excellent for
scenario "my pendrive, alien PC".
