Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB drive exposed as fake

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

Lenovo is facing criticism after its fingerprint-secured encrypted USB drive was revealed to be little more than a standard unencrypted SD card inside a plastic case. The finding undermines the product's core security promise, and people online are questioning how such a mislabeled device reached the market and what it means for trust in hardware security claims.

Why now: The discovery that a marketed security product offers no real encryption is a striking betrayal of buyer expectations, driving widespread discussion.
