JAPANESE storage vendor IO Data has dropped a bit of a clanger by shipping a batch of external hard drives complete with a Windows worm.

Hard drives in the vendor’s HDP range were accidentally infected with the Tompai-A worm which turns the PC it’s installed with into a zombie, awaiting commands from some Mr Big in the malware business.
