Under sustained attack from what is described as a rapidly spreading network worm, the U.S. army has banned the use of USB sticks, CDs, flash media cards, and all other removable data storage devices, according to internal e-mail messages seen by Wired’s Noah Shachtman.
According to the article, service members have been ordered to “cease usage of all USB storage media until the USB devices are properly scanned and determined to be free of malware.”
