Kingston Technology has asked customers to return certain models of its DataTraveler secure flash drives for an update, following the discovery of a flaw in the memory sticks.
The affected models include the DataTraveler BlackBox; DataTraveler Secure — Privacy Edition; and DataTraveler Elite — Privacy Edition. The flaw lies in how the drives process passwords, Jim Selby, Kingston’s manager of European product marketing, told ZDNet UK on Monday. Kingston flash drives suffer password flaw – ZDNet.co.uk
