Sticking it to USB sticks, again
If you’ve ever wondered what becomes of all those lost USB memory sticks, you ought to read this…
A survey of 1,000 firms carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the UK Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform revealed that despite all those amusing rumours of companies gumming up USB ports with glue to stop people doing anything potentially risky - like using them - 67 percent had absolutely no means to stop staff members copying confidential information onto USB sticks.
(BTW, did we really need all those Paris Hilton references to underline the importance of this issue?)
