Beware the Podslurpers… / Contractor UK, 3 Nov 2006

"Podslurpers and Camsnufflers sound like products of JJ Tolkien’s imagination in Lord of the Rings. In fact these are all names given to a new breed of security risks that have derived from the existence of USB and Firewire ports. Basically podslurping and camsnuffling are two variations on the same theme – using highly memory intensive mobile devices to connect into a USB or firewire port and remove large amounts of data from the machine or system."
