Malware hitches a ride on digital devices
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2008-01-09
In the past month, at least three consumers have reported that photo
frames -- small flat-panel displays for displaying digital images --
received over the holidays attempted to install malicious code on their
computer systems, according to the Internet Storm Center, a
network-threat monitoring group. Each case involved the same product and
the same chain of stores, suggesting that the electronic systems were
infected at the factory or somewhere during shipping, said Marcus Sachs,
who volunteers as the director of the Internet Storm Center.
