Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau has apologised after handing out 54 infected flash drives at a data security expo hosted by the government from 11-15 December. An event which had the noble aim of raising awareness of cybercrime.
According to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the infections have been traced back to a single PC at an external contractor. It seems that a random sample of the USB drives were plugged into the infected PC in order to test their storage capacity, and the malware was unwittingly transmitted to 54 of them at that time.
