[Web4lib] hacking Time Management system thru USB

[Simmons, Chris]

Hi, we've had a couple security breaks from users using Flash Drives. We suspect it may be a result of using Auto Start to run programs from behind the shell. We tried replicating with a U3 drive but couldn't, maybe we don't have the devious mind of a hacker ): Has anybody had any experience with this? We're hoping to disable certain .exe files as locking down USB access (as our IT security may suggest) would be overkill and not at all feasible with our public needs. 
Thanks!
