The real threat embedded in portable devices was once again proven in 2006, when flash drives containing classified US military secrets turned up for sale at a marketplace in Afghanistan/Bagram. Shopkeepers claimed the kit was sold to them by cleaners, garbage collectors and other local workers at the nearby US airbase as LA Times, quoted by IT portal The Registrar, reported at the time, flash memory drives from the base were being sold in second hand bins.
The paper further reported that the stolen computer drives could expose military secrets as well as the social security numbers and other personal information of military personnel. This major security breach could have been prevented by using an endpoint security solution. Having sensitive data copied to a password protected / encrypted area of the flash drive would have kept all critical informations safe.
