As a research project, a consulting firm sent USB sticks to finance directors at 500 firms in the UK. The memory devices purported to be invitations to "the Party of a Lifetime" with an anonymous sender but were actually part of an experiment. Nearly half of the finance directors inserted the stick into company computers. Media companies fared the worst in the experiment, with 65 percent putting the memory stick into computers. At technology, retail and transportation companies, the figure was between 38 and 39 percent. The devices could be used to plant malware on computer systems.
