HP has admitted that they have shipped a USB hybrid flash-floppy drive that came infected with malware. The infected HP USB Floppy Drive Key is a combination flash drive and compact floppy drive made for their ProLiant Server line. They believe that they drive was installed at the factory. Oddly enough the announcement was made on the same day that HP offered "secure" online storage to it's customers for $5 a month.

The worms have been identified as W32.Fakerecy and W32.SillyFDC by anti virus programs. The worms spread themselves to mapped drives or removable systems and affect all Windows systems prior to Vista.
