“Unhackable”” iris-scanning USB stick hacked!”

Pen tester David Lodge hacked a USB stick marketed as ‘unhackable’ USB stick called the eyeDisk. Despite its much-touted Iris-scanning capabilities, the device unlocks the volume by sending a password through in clear text, as shown below. The device seems to be less secure than its marketing brochure claims, according to Lodge. He concludes that the device is a poor approach given the claims and fundamentally undermines the security of the device. For the not-so-tech savvy demographic wanting a clear verdict on eyeDisk: the device seems less secure. Be careful out there!”]
