The unlovely gift was supplied to an unknown number of delegates to

Big Blue does not identify the strain of malware involved in the
attack
beyond saying it's a type of virus widely detected for at least two
years
which takes advantage of Windows autorun to spread, as a copy of
IBM's email
apology published by the Beast Or Buddha blog explains."
