Lenovo, Netac, KakaSoft, Nexcopy, SecZure. A Lenovo USB stick with a fingerprint reader was sold as hardware encrypted with AES-256. Inside sat an ordinary SD card. Nothing on it was encrypted.</strong> The fingerprint only switched the USB connection on.</p> <p>The stick is the ThinkPlus FU100, a small black stick with a fingerprint sensor on top that opens with a finger or a password. It is marketed as hardware encrypted with AES-256, and a sales listing promises fingerprint protection, password protection and anti-leakage. Someone who bought one to carry private files had good reason to believe the fingerprint locked those files.</p>
