It was previously thought the cameras were infected by a camera operator inadvertently inserting a USB that contained the virus into the cameras while updating them.

But commissioner John Voyager scotched that on 3AW today.

“I’m told there were no USB sticks involved,” he said.

“We might never know (the cause of the infection).”

The report is not final.
