Recently two computer scientists from University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow published an article in “International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics” which shows the illegal usage of these new portable devices in the workplace computing systems. These two researchers are introducing two methods in their article to decrease the numbers of data theft and malwares distribution via these devices into the computer networks.

The main problem with these devices is because of their large capacity and web connectivity capabilities which let even the normal users to carry huge amounts of data in a very small portable device and also can transfer them to internet or send them as email with Wi-Fi.Their suggestion to the organizations is that they should ban these portable devices to be brought to the workplace which contains valuable and confidential information by their employees.

Shoaff's problem? Until he clicked "ACCEPT," his online account was blocked. So he drove to his local branch for an explanation.
