Of course, but OP wanted to implicate that this worm stays local in a network. You need an USB stick to carry it over.
I'm pretty sure the word you want is "imply." Although what the Russians are doing with corrupt USBs is a crime, OP isn't implicated in it.
Thanks for the lesson.. haha
This is just about right :
in fact I wanted to know how we are exposed (or not exposed) to this. ...to know what we have to do to limit exposure.
