Lenovo fingerprint USB drive found to be unencrypted SD card
Original: Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB is just an unencrypted SD card in a case
Lenovo is facing criticism after its fingerprint-protected USB drive, marketed as offering hardware encryption, was found to contain a standard unencrypted microSD card inside a plastic case. Security-minded users are questioning how the product passed marketing and certification claims, warning buyers who rely on it to protect sensitive data that the fingerprint lock provides essentially no real protection against someone extracting the storage card directly.
Why now: People are alarmed that a security product marketed as encrypted offers no actual data protection, making it a cautionary tale about trusting vendor claims
