Malware shipped on TomTom SatNav devices

"An internet posting by British technology journalist Davey Winder contains a statement by the makers of the 
dashboard-mounted SatNav units acknowledging the incident.

TomTom SatNav devices are Linux-based, and cannot be infected by the malware. However, Windows users who connect to the 
device via their USB port could risk running the malicious code and infecting their desktop computers."
