Kingston Digital to Replace Affected Secure USB Flash Drives with Upgraded Security Architecture, New Drives<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 January 19, 2010<\/strong> \u2013 Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced it will replace certain secure USB Flash drives with new units designed with an improved security architecture. The Kingston drives affected are the DataTraveler BlackBox (DTBB), DataTraveler Secure \u2013 Privacy Edition (DTSP) and DataTraveler Elite \u2013 Privacy Edition (DTEP). Kingston is offering its customers the following: a FIPS-certified replacement for the DTBB; and the DataTraveler Vault \u2013 Privacy Edition for the DTSP and DTEP.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingston was notified in December by a third-party security consulting firm that the DataTraveler BlackBox, DataTraveler Secure \u2013 Privacy Edition and DataTraveler Elite \u2013 Privacy Edition contained a potential security flaw. Kingston believes the best solution is to replace those potentially affected units.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided the best way to address this problem is to offer our customers replacement units that incorporate newer and stronger security architecture,\u201d said Vaughan Nankivell, Regional Manager, Australia and New Zealand, Kingston. \u201cSince we were first notified of the potential hack, we have concluded that exchanging drives is the proper solution for our customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Customers who own one of the affected drives should contact Kingston\u2019s Customer Service Department for full details of our standard return process. For the customer service phone number in your region, visit <\/span>www.kingston.com\/driveupdate<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
