    It absolutely works. My company spends a ton of time and resources in an attempt to prevent folks from plugging in random USB drives. Classes to user restrictions. Amazing how some folk are.

      Of course, but OP wanted to implicate that this worm stays local in a network. You need an USB stick to carry it over.

        I’m pretty sure the word you want is “imply.” Although what the Russians are doing with corrupt USBs is a crime, OP isn’t implicated in it.

        This is just about right :
        in fact I wanted to know how we are exposed (or not exposed) to this. …to know what we have to do to limit exposure.

      The company just doesn’t want me know what’s in these usb drives, surely.
