The FBI has contained a Chinese-origin malware named PlugX that infiltrated USB drives and 2.5 million devices worldwide. The agency used a court order to remove the harmful code from about 4,260 US computers and networks.

The malware’s self-delete command was used initially in France and later in 22 other countries to remedy infected machines.
