[Year 12 IT Apps] Here comes another one... more exciting new malware fears.

[Mark]

"It’s been just two months since researcher Karsten Nohl demonstrated an
attack he called BadUSB to a standing-room-only crowd at the Black Hat
security conference in Las Vegas, showing that it’s possible to corrupt any
USB device with insidious, undetectable malware. Given the severity of that
security problem—and the lack of any easy patch—Nohl has held back on
releasing the code he used to pull off the attack. But at least two of
Nohl’s fellow researchers aren’t waiting any longer."
