U.S. Agency Trashes Computers For Malware That Wasn't There...

[Tinman57]

  Just like the government to throw the baby out with the bath-water.  Goes to show just how ignorant our government is of technology.  How do they get rid of malware on computer systems?  Destroy the computers and peripherals!!!

Worst IT fail ever? US agency spends millions in useless security
A branch of the U.S. Commerce Department recently trashed perfectly good computers and wasted millions on a bogus malware infection. How did this happen?
