As we have blogged previously about security holes and data leakage, we wanted to alert everyone about the report by US-CERT about the malicious exploits of USB devices (which includes cameras, smartphones, and PDAs) and an earlier security tip of protecting USB devices (http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST08-001.html).
Remember that a USB device is just as prone to malware, badware, and viruses just like any other hard drive on your system so taking the proper precautions to protect your USB device is just as critical as taking care of your company or personal PC.
