     USB flash drivers sent with Conext Combox and Conext Battery Monitor
     products, part of Schneider Electric's solar power range, were
     "contaminated" during the manufacturing process, according to a
     [2]security advisory released by the industrial equipment
     manufacturer.

     Schneider Electric says that the USB media "may have been exposed to
     malware during manufacturing at a third-party supplier's facility."

   Here's the thing: people won't remember who Conext is. They probably
   provide bits and bobs for a bunch of other companies, and this issue
   might impact those other companies (and consumers, obviously). But this
   will be associated with Schneider because they are they headliner.
