Concept Combination Lock Flash Drive Looks Like a Pacifier, Also for Suckers



While we are really big fans of security, Yanko, you're doin it wrong. They have a new concept in flash drives they are shopping around. It looks like a lollipop or pacifier with a hollow ring dial. The USB connector is secured inside the device similar to flip-out style flash drives but it's locked inside. Spinning the dial, you enter your combination which allows you to flip the connector out and it functions as normal. Remove the drive and retract the connector and it's locked again.

Currently, the drive only sports the physical security of the lock. Snap the drive open and your secrets are compromised. That's if you actually struggle with the 2 digit combination. It would only take 99 tries to figure out the combination and free drive and free data. The only thing this device is really good for is slightly increasing the effort it would take to get your goods, only slightly. It is a good idea, at least it's headed in the right direction but we are gonna have to recommend the beefier entrants over this cupcake.
