People bring their infected thumbdrives with their photos, stuff
to be printed etc. and plug it into the kiosks. Conficker's nature
enables it to copy itself onto the computer, and subsequently any
removable media that is inserted into the machine.
One way how Conficker spread so rapidly.
Scary.. Why doesn't
the owner configure those machines so that it is a “limited
account” just like PC? In that way, viruses on removable media
won’t get copied onto the PC (due to restricted rights) and hence,
infecting those innocent media?
