Lawyer representing whistle blowers finds malware on drive supplied by cops
Good thing they weren't complacent and they had the drive checked. It's appalling that this came from a police department, but it could happen with any drive someone gives you, accidentally or maliciously.<p>What's the best way to counteract this? Only plug foreign drives into a dedicated computer, probably running Linux, so you can scan it and copy the files you need before letting them touch other machines?
