Hi All

Some of us work in secure environments or have experienced it previously, here is a worrying issue, that those involved should be updating themselves with and preparing for the inevitable.

Best be on your toes...

Sounds like an attack the Israeli might orchestrate or others on a given target.

Typically air gapped systems would not be left configured as able to read or write to USB storage. If you allow 'read up' then you risk malware infection.
