A Dutch importer gave  a little more this holiday with their Victory LT-200 512MB USB media player.  Some of these devices are infected with the Worm.Win32.Fujack.aa worm according to Kaspersky Lab’s research team as mentioned on their blog.   Variants of the Fujack worm have been known to spread other programs to steal passwords for online games. 

 Malware is particularly dangerous on removable storage devices since applications can be set to run automatically when they are plugged in.

Yung-Hsun Lin recently plead guilty to writing and installing a logic bomb on the company network at Medco Health Solutions. Concerned he may be laid off, he planned on disrupting Medco Health Solutions ability to know if a customer’s new prescriptions would have adverse interactions with their existing prescriptions.

Fortunately another administrator found the threat before it had a chance to go off. Medco estimates the problem cost them between $70,000 – $120,000 to clean up.

If convicted, Lin could be facing 10 years in prison; although his plea deal is for 30 to 37 months.
