IBM has apologized for handing out malware-ridden USB drives at the recent IBM AusCERT security conference.
"The unlovely gift was supplied to an unknown number of delegates to the Gold Coast, Queensland conference who visited IBM's booth," writes The Register's John Leyden.
"Big Blue does not identify the strain of malware involved in the attack beyond saying it's a type of virus widely detected for at least two years which takes advantage of Windows autorun to spread, as a copy of IBM's email apology published by the Beast Or Buddha blog explains," Leyden writes.
