Comment Funny thing: a fed once recommened Iron Key to me. (Score 1) 61
I used to be involved in activism, and our activist group got infiltrated by someone who we later learned was a government agent.
One night while I talked with him (before I learned he was a fed), he recommended that I use a product called IronKey, and he gushed to me about how it was secure and totally unbreakable.
Needless to say, I have been suspicious of IronKey ever since that experience. I assumed it had some kind of backdoor to allow law enforcement or intelligence agencies to look at hidden data. Why else would an undercover infiltrator recommend it so emphatically to an activist?
It doesn't surprise me at all that someone has been able to crack this.
