US Department of Defense against flash drives

    US military officials decided to conduct an experiment: JiAyam was forbidden to use all types of removable media, including flash cards and external hard drives.

    Now, according to Wired , a soldier can use a personal USB drive, combining it with an office computer, only with the personal permission of his commander.

    The reason for such a radical measure was the spread of Agent.bt worm on computer networks of the American army, which, experts suggest, is spread via removable storage media.

    At the same time, a few days ago (as part of an initiative to create special Web 2.0 defense services) , a military video service called TroopTube was launchedintended for military personnel, their families and “support groups”. This happened a year and a half after, for security reasons, access to YouTube and other video services was blocked for soldiers.
