January 19, 2010: Kingston Digital will replace certain secure USB Flash drives in which a potential security flaw has been identified with new units designed with an improved security architecture.
The company was notified in December by a third-party security consulting firm that certain drives contained a potential security flaw. It has decided the best solution is to replace those potentially affected units. The affected drives are the DataTraveler BlackBox (DTBB), DataTraveler Secure - Privacy Edition (DTSP) and DataTraveler Elite - Privacy Edition (DTEP). Kingston is offering its customers the following: a FIPS-certified replacement for the DTBB; and the DataTraveler Vault - Privacy Edition for the DTSP and DTEP.
Customers who own one of the affected drives should contact Kingston's Customer Service Department for full details of the standard return process.
