[BBC] IBM workers banned from using USB sticks
In article , Frank Slootweg
wrote: The company I worked for banned them many years ago - for reasons of (a) concern of theft of secure [either in the government (it was a defence contractor) or commercial sense] material, and (b) fear of infection. Exactly. Same with the little 150K employee computer company I worked for. As soon as USB ports showed up on computers, they were made inoperable. (No card-readers at that time.) That was well before the year 2000. there weren't very many usb peripherals 'well before the year 2000' so disabling the usb ports didn't make much of a difference. Huh? The discussion is about USB (memory) sticks! which didn't exist 'well before the year 2000'. Correct. I thought it was earlier, but according to my notes, it was probably mid-2001. that time frame makes a bit more sense. |
