German Govt Dump 170 Infected PC's

So nobody told them that they could just get some new HD's then? Seems a bit OTT to me.

German govt DUMPS 170 NEW PCs riddled with Conficker ? The Register

[bladedanny]

£650 per pc to clean? Seems a bit steep.

Dumpster diving anyone?

Not very efficient.

doubt they made it to a dumpster

 

I imagine if any of us put this forward as a way of cleaning up the schools networks we'd probably be out on our arses within the week once the bursar managed to stop rolling around on the floor laughing!
