New virus, old methods

And last friday I had a blast from the past. I forget the name but it was a modern .exe file infecter. The idea was to get it on a mapped drive.install autorun.inf so that the workstation would automatically run it, and then siphon off data.

Real old school virus method that you don't see around much anymore.

 It does show, however, that you still have to look at all angles, new and old alike...
