NSW Ambulance Service recovers from computer virus

InfoSec News: NSW Ambulance Service recovers from computer virus: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/security/nsw-ambulance-service-recovers-from-computer-virus-20110214-1ate0.html
By Ben Grubb The Sydney Morning Herald February 14, 2011
Computers which coordinate NSW's ambulances all finally returned to normal Monday afternoon after a virus forced staff to shut them down for more than 24 hours.

"The only way a virus could get onto it would be via physical access – someone with the virus on a USB key," the source said. "It's probably just someone [who] has plugged in an infected USB and it's infected a few Windows PCs in the office."
Those claims were put to the NSW Ambulance Service but it declined to comment on them.
