Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB is an 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 encrypted USB drive was found to contain nothing more than a standard unencrypted microSD card inside a plastic case. Security-minded users are calling the product misleading, questioning how it passed any security review and warning buyers who rely on it to protect sensitive data.

Why now: The discovery that a security product offers essentially no real encryption exposes misleading marketing and potential risk for buyers.
