/* The DoD was NOT "targeted" nor spear-phished. */

The W32/Agent.BTZ is an AutoRun worm and through sheer *STUPIDITY* on the part of the
warfighter, this AutoRun worm spread from Flash Drive to system and back to Flash Drive,
etc. This was happening in-theatre and spread home with returning service personnel. It
showed a security hole in the GIG and actions have been taken to patch the hole in the
GIG.

That's all there is to this !
