Stored-data access via unenforced passcode lockout
Published Jun 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Improper lockout in Verbatim Keypad Secure USB and Store 'n' Go Secure drives allows physically proximate attackers to keep guessing passcodes. The built-in keypad authentication path does not trigger the documented lock-and-reformat state after 20 consecutive failed entries, and testing never reached any lockout threshold. Physical possession is required; a guessed passcode unlocks stored data, although the disclosure says an offline brute-force route is more efficient.
