Fake Kingston Flash Drives
Here’s a link to an interesting post on fake Kingston flash drives being sold on eBay. This is a good reminder to always buy flash drives (or any portable media) that are labeled with individual serial numbers, preferably directly on the drive itself. A call to the vendor is also a good idea, especially when purchasing in bulk.
This security professional is going to make some calls right now….
As always, stay safe and avoid a false sense of security.

Don’t buy any USB sticks from this eBay store. All fake.
