Just out of curiosity, did the company in question had any anti-trojan (or anti-something else) software deployed on its computers? If not, do you think this kind of software could have in some way blocked or limited the reach of your plan? If they had this kind of software deployed, did you analyze why it didn't detect/blocked your trojan? Did you conclude that a better software would have?

That's interesting because what has changed is the social part of the problem: people are less suspecting when they find an USB thumb drive than if they found a floppy or a CD (and they somehow imagine an USB drive could contain more interesting things than a floppy or CD), but the technological problem is still the same: it's still a matter of detecting and blocking harmful files, whether they come from the Internet or from removable storage of any kind.
