Interesting thing at college Induction day

[Graeme43]

Well I had my day at college where they set you up with all the crap like timetables and I got a USB flash stick for taking work there. I decided to stick it in to see what was on it and there was some documents + a windows backdoor trojan virus thingy with an autorun.inf pointing right at it! Stick that in an unprotected pc and it will infect itself

I am glad I use a Mac

Were you given that from the school or did you buy it? If you bought it like that, I'd send a nasty-gram to the manufacturer or at least a warning. Another idea would be to call one of the local t.v.(news) stations and I'm sure they'd jump right on that story!

It was included in the pack for my computing couse which is them giving it to me. I'm gonna have to use smelly dells If I had to buy it I would just use my shuffle instead

I heard about this USB stick exploit on PaulDotCom Security Weekly some weeks back. Maybe it was a way of showing students to whatever class you took that gave those out about security. Some teachers are crazy like that you know...

You never even got the smiley right

I use the original Smiley(tm) it has a nose not like these new lazy noseless version the kids came up with because they were too lazy to type the hyphen

(Before the site upgrade ";-)" used to turn into a little apple smiley but I guess that is gone.)
