USB flash drive security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In the early days of computer viruses and malware the primary means of transmission and infection was the floppy disk. Today, USB flash drives perform the same data and software storage and transfer role as the floppy disk, often used for transferring files between computers which may be on different networks or in different offices, owned by different people; this has made USB flash drives a leading form of information system infection. When a piece of malware gets onto a USB flash drive it may infect the devices into which that drive is subsequently plugged."
