United States Department of Defense vs Flash Drives

vs

US military officials decided to conduct an experiment: DzhiAyam banned the use of all types of removable media, including flash cards and external hard drives.

Now, as Wired writes , it will be possible to use a personal USB-drive, combining it with a service computer to a soldier only with the personal permission of his commander.

The reason for such a radical measure was the spread in computer networks of the American army of the Agent.bt worm, which, according to experts, is distributed through removable media.

At the same time, a few days ago (as part of the initiative to create special Web 2.0 defense-related services) , a military video service called TroopTube was launched , designed for military personnel, their families and “support groups”. This happened a year and a half after, for security reasons, access to YouTube and other video services was blocked for the soldiers.
