Cyberwarfare

I read today, "The Defense Department has imposed an immediate ban on the use of thumb drives and other easily portable devices that offer digital memory storage, with some sort of viral intrusion into the military’s worldwide computer networks apparently spurring the move." DOD is apparently very concerned that virus programs may be spreading as a result of people using external media storage such as flash drives (thumb drives), SD and CF camera cards and others storage devices. Lots of restrictions to keep track of. A sign of the times these days when "cyber-war" is a distinct reality.
