Unknown Malicious Software
Many USB sticks have been infected without the knowledge of the user. A number of these infections lay dorment, colling information for a long period of time before it is executed.
It has also been known that some usb sticks direct from a sealed package have been pre-loaded with malware/ransomware.
Because you have the access rights to adjust company data, an unknown malicous application has the potential to great harm to the business. With this in mind, we have restricted access to this device.
What to do:
Non approved USB sticks should not be inserted into company computers. If you have received a USB from the company and are receiving this message, please contact the helpdesk to have the USB reviewed. (It is common to review USB sticks ongoing)
