Auscert 2008: Interesting excerpt?
This was too good not to share..
AUSCERT DELEGATES GET MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR
A few red faces were to be seen at last month’s AusCERT security conference held on the Gold Coast in Australia, and not through over exposure to the sun. Infected USB sticks were inadvertently handed out to attendees at one of the event’s scheduled tutorials. AusCERT’s marketing manager Claire Groves told Search Security that it was Australian telecoms company Telstra that made the faux pas, but that ‘as soon as they found out [that the sticks were infected] they recalled them’. One imagines the Telstra representatives are still finding remnants of egg ontheir faces.
At least it wasn’t us!
