McDonalds Japan Distributes Infected MP3 Players
Tamas Feher from Hungary writes, "Finnish antivirus vendor F-Secure reports that Mcdonalds in Japan distributed 10,000 infected MP3 players as customer prizes in a promotion with Coca-Cola. The USB sticks contained 10 free songs plus the QQPass Trojan, which is intended to steal login data. F-Secure reports that they have heard, but cannot confirm, that simply plugging the USB device into a Windows PC is sufficient to get infected. Investigation is still going on, but the mishap apparently happened in Hong Kong. Patrons nationwide are urged to quickly return their M-logoed sticks for replacement or call a 24hr hotline, if unsure." Here is the Mcdonalds Japan announcement (in Japanese, but Babelfish at Altavista handles it well).
Getting totally pwn3d - I'm lovin in!
Last time I was in Tokyo they had the "teritama burger". Take the meat, egg, and cheese part of a susage McMuffin, pour teriyaki sauce on it, and put it on a hamburger bun. Best. Burger. Evar. I was flying back business class and I took one on the plane with me cuz it was better than the plane food.
(I would have said it was the bomb but you know how uptight those security guys are.)
