[2016-01-07] Hacker-proof security gadgets find their (tiny) niche at CES

When I see a product being labeled as "Hacker-proof" I just smile. I think these labels just put a target on these gadgets to be hacked. The marketing for these devices should

avoid these kinds of attention at all cost. The niche market might just turn out to be the hackers buying it to see if it can be exploited. Some of these PGP encrypted services

or tools are free on the internet, so it's just a convenience factor to have it prepared onto one device.  Roll Eyes

In practice that means this small device can fulfil dozens of security functions. It can power secure Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain transactions. It acts as a secure key for Google, Dropbox, Github and many other online services. It has a suite of PGP tools that allow you to authenticate and encrypt emails, manage your digital identity and protect it from snoopers. It's basically David Cameron's worst nightmare, in a 97mm by 68mm box.
