A USB stick inserted in a carpark booth computer at Waikato
Hospital has been blamed for bringing down the district
health board's computer network in December last year.
About 3000 computers across the board's network were infected
with the Conficker virus, forcing a complete computer
shutdown.
Wilson Parking northern general manager Stephan Wuffli told
the Waikato Times the source of the virus appeared
to be from a USB stick that was used in a computer in a
carpark booth. The booth was linked to the DHB computers.
