Non Encrypted USB

Writer: Brett Stelmaszek Editor: Dawid Wilsnach Music by: @UFD-Music This is how people get hacked. When companies do diabolically crappy things like this. A security researcher decided to check out a security USB drive that’s sold by Lenovo. It’s marketed as being encrypted, but it’s so far removed from that it’s not even feasible this was just a mistake. It turns out the fingerprint that’s on the USB that’s supposed to be for decrypting the files doesn’t do that at all. The fingerprint scan does work, but when it reads your digit, the only thing it then does is connect the internal unencrypted SD card to your computer via USB. If you take the microSD card out of the housing, it’ll just load up all the files no problem on the PC its plugged into. No encryption or security at all.
