CERT recently issued a warning about malicious code propagating via USB flash drive devices and the Defense Department 
suspended “usage of all USB storage media until the USB devices are properly scanned and determined to be free of 
malware,"

Have any campuses experienced problems or developed any policies or procedures regarding the use of USB storage devices?
