Infected USB sticks detected in Slovenian public administration - milos_rs - 06-17-2025
Several Slovenian government institutions have purchased Chinese-made USB sticks infected with malware. The infection was detected soon enough and has apparently not caused any damage.
Quote:According to media reports, the Ljubljana company Extra Lux has sold the USB sticks to around 20 public administration bodies, having won a public sector supply deal as the cheapest bidder.
The Office for Information Security said the authorities have not found any damage that may have been caused by the malware.
However, considering the number of sticks in use and the nature of the threat, the office has declared a state of increased risk, instructing all public administration bodies not to use the USB sticks.
