Lenovo fingerprint USB drive exposed as unencrypted SD card

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

Lenovo is facing criticism over a fingerprint-secured USB drive that reportedly offers no real data protection: the device is claimed to be a standard unencrypted SD card in a plastic case, meaning the fingerprint lock can be bypassed by removing the card. Commenters on tech forums are mocking the product and questioning how such a misleading security claim reached the market.

Why now: The gap between the product's advertised security and its actual design makes it a striking example of false security marketing.
