Here is the theme of a conversation between a couple of us and a couple users associated with a particular computer.
Us: It looks like this computer keeps getting infected by an infected USB drive
Them: ….
Us: Is someone taking a USB drive home, plugging it into their home box, and then plugging it back into the work PC?
Them: Well that’s weird because no one is taking a USB drive home. I don’t know what it could be.
(pause)
Them: Now that I think about it, we do have a USB drive that we use between this computer and some stand alone lab machines. Do you think that could be source?
Us: Do those machines have an anti-virus program loaded on them?
Them: …….No
Us: /smack forehead
I’m all for user training (which we do) but outside of that at some point you would think people might put two and two together when every time they plug in a particular thumb drive that they get a popup from the AV running on the box. Cracks me up everytime I think of this.
