Veazer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'm creating a document of security risk for newbies and I haven't been able to locate a term for this. Suppose some goes to an internet cafe and plugs in their USB flashdrive. Upon inserting it: 1) A malicious script intentionally placed on the computer immediately copies all contents of the drive to a local folder on the pc. or 2) Someone working at the cafe notices the drive has been added and copies the contents of the drive, or a portion of the contents, to a local folder on the pc, or their pc. (Using defaults network shares, vnc, etc) or 3) A trojan on the pc copies some or all file to the pc or a remote location. What is the term for stealing files from removable media? I don't want to start using my own name for this act if an 'official' name already exists. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veazer Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Theft? I was kinda hoping for something a little more specific and descriptive... Along the lines of trojans, keylogging, hijacker, logic bomb, macro virus, nuker, phishing, rootkit, worm, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
