Thanks for posting this.

Maybe I can use this article and incident to prove to one of my supervisors at work that there are real threats on the internet, and that offloading company data onto external harddrives and taking them home to your home PC doesn't make them safe.

In my job taking stuff from an office PC and working at home is a No No!. You start the work and finish it at home or work, not both. I constantly warn them about the dangers. I have enough problems with their surfing. I don't need their home infections as well!
