Sophos researchers warn of a new worm named 'SillyFD-AA' that is targeting removable drives.
In both its mode of infection and lack of profit motive, 'SillyFD-AA' harks back to the days when viruses were written for kicks rather than money...
'SillyFD-AA' singles out removable drives including USB memory sticks and floppy disks to create hidden files called 'autorun.inf,' that ensure a copy of the worm runs the next time these devices are plugged into computers running Windows.
Start getting out the super glue! Glue those USB ports closed!
