Secure USB Drive

Fraudsters are offering details of 21 million German bank accounts for $15 million, according to a recent investigative report.

 Reporters for German magazine WirtschaftsWoche (Economic Week) managed to obtain a CD containing 1.2 million accounts after a face-to-face meeting with criminals in a Hamburg hotel. 

 The bank details were apparently stolen to order for the criminal gang by call centre employees, and smuggled out on personal USB flash drives - a situation that can be controlled with the right USB security in place.

With the right USB security policies, USB encryption, and management software in place, this type of activity could have been identified early, as the software keeps a log of files copied to and from all USB drives. 

 This in-depth audit trail would help to quickly detect the source of these data leaks, so that appropriate action can be taken.
