据NetworkWorldAsia报导，HP近日承认在所售的USB盘中携带了蠕虫，给客户带来安全威胁。
HP所售的USB软盘(HP USB Floppy Drive Key)是用在HP的Proliant服务器产品线上的，集成了软驱和USB盘，有256M和1GB两种型号。SANS的一位安全专家怀疑蠕虫是在HP的某个工厂感染上的。
If a compromised drive is plugged into a USB port on any machine on the network, the worms may spread “to any mapped drives on the server,” HP’s alert said.
Up-to-date anti-virus software should detect the malware, but HP didn’t specify which of the many available programs would find and then delete the worms. Symantec Corp., for example, has signature definitions in its collection for both pieces of malicious code, which it identifies as “Fakerecy” and “SillyFDC.”
一些最新的杀毒软件已经可以检测出感染的蠕虫。
This morning I read one news about the ATT(Anti-Theft Technology) technology from Intel. It’s expected to enable the enterprises and organizations to remove the sensitive/confidential data at stolen/lost laptops. It’s a technology based on Intel chips.
Data loss and protection have been one of the top priorities of CIOs and CISOs. Such kind of incidents of data loss and leakage might bring un-predicted troubles and legal risks to the company. Attrition has a good listing of such kind of incidents.
When I talked about this tech news with my colleagues, I got to know there are already some software technology in place to realize somewhat similar functionality. Computrace from Absolute.com is one of them. This page shows how this technology works. Lenovo has partnered with Absolute on this technology. In addition, in order to enhance its security protection of laptops and desktops, Lenovo also partners with Utimaco. Safeguard security software, including Safeguard Easy, Leakproof and etc. are good security enhancements to Thinkpad users, besides other TVT software enhancement.
