Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB drive exposed as unencrypted 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 offers no real encryption, and is essentially a standard unencrypted SD card in a plastic case. Readers are mocking the misleading security branding and warning buyers whose data could be exposed if the card is removed. The story is fueling broader criticism of security theater in consumer hardware.
Why now: People are alarmed and amused that a product marketed as secure offers essentially no data protection.
