Firm Puzzled by Body Cams Infected with Malware

A Florida IT services firm reported that Martel wearable body cameras it purchased tested positive for the Conficker worm when connected to a lab PC, but Martel investigated with multiple antivirus products and stated it could not locate evidence of the malware and that all cameras tested clean. The discrepancy highlights supply-chain integrity concerns for devices deployed to police and military users, though the evidence in the report is limited and the malware involved is a well-known, older worm with readily available detection.
