Lenovo 'encrypted' fingerprint USB revealed as plain SD card
Original: Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB is just an unencrypted SD card in a case
Lenovo is facing criticism after a USB drive marketed as an encrypted, fingerprint-protected storage device was found to be essentially a standard unencrypted SD card inside a plastic case. The discovery has prompted disbelief among technology users, who say buyers paying a premium for security were not getting any real encryption or biometric protection at all.
Why now: The gap between the product's security claims and its actual contents is a striking example of misleading marketing to tech audiences.
