Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB drive exposed as plain SD card

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

A widely shared report claims Lenovo's fingerprint-protected USB drive marketed as offering hardware encryption is actually just an unencrypted SD card inside a plastic case, providing none of the security its branding suggests. Readers are mocking the product and questioning how such mislabeling passed review, with calls for scrutiny of security claims on consumer storage devices.

Why now: People are reacting to the gap between Lenovo's security marketing and the product's actual lack of encryption.
