Full story: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44069488

Staff at IBM have been banned from using removable memory devices such
as USB sticks, SD cards and flash drives.

The possibility of "financial and reputational" damage if staff lost or
misused the devices prompted the decision, reported The Register.

Instead, IBM staff who need to move data around will be encouraged to do
so via an internal network.

The decree banning removable storage acknowledges that complying with it
could be "disruptive".

Losing data

Hmmm! I thought this was the twenty-first century, not the twentieth!?

But heh, better late than never!
