Lenovo's fingerprint encrypted USB drive exposed as fake

Original: Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB is just an unencrypted SD card in a case

Lenovo is facing backlash after its fingerprint-secured USB drive, marketed as offering encrypted storage, was revealed to be little more than a standard unencrypted SD card inside a plastic case. The finding suggests the biometric lock provides no real data protection, and tech communities are questioning how the product passed security claims and what responsibility Lenovo holds for the misleading marketing.

Why now: A widely shared security finding exposed that a popular vendor's encrypted drive offers no actual encryption, raising concerns about misleading security marketing.
