aliasxneo | on: Lenovo's 'encrypted' fingerprint USB is just an unencrypted SD card in a case
I can imagine some "Hollywood hacker" scene where the guy steals an encrypted USB and proceeds to break into it.

"How did you get the data?"

"It was just an unencrypted SD card inside"

Not very exciting, but I guess just as accurate as reality!
