Fujitsu released a self-destructing flash drive

[Объединенное Детективное Бюро]

Fujitsu has created an unusual flash drive that stands out not only for its shape and powerful hardware data encryption system, but also for additional information protection measures. Moreover, drastic measures. The Japanese are used to doing everything carefully. After all, it is not without reason that Japanese equipment, manufactured precisely in the Land of the Rising Sun, has been serving for years, and their phones are considered one of the most reliable in the world, although they are not particularly widespread due to their features. No less carefully, the descendants of the samurai came to the safety of the data encrypted on a flash drive. The new Fujitsu USB drive with the unusual name Tamatebako has an unusual shape and a hardware data encryption system using AES technology and a 256-bit key. But this is only the first line on the path of the attacker. If the wrong password is entered several times, the self-destruction system for information will start, which can work in the interval from ten minutes to seven days. This parameter is configured by the user independently. The rather large dimensions of the flash drive (70x70x24 mm, 45 g) are due to the presence of the battery, which is necessary for the operation of the slow self-destruction system. By the way, it recharges in just five minutes. The price of such an unusual gadget has not yet been reported. It is worth noting that, in Japanese translation, the word Tamatebako means “Treasure Box”, but in this case it is used in the meaning “Pandora's Box”, if translated into European way.
