SanDisk and Verbatim have joined Kingston Technology in warning of vulnerabilities in their flash drives.

"The hole could allow unauthorized access to encrypted data on a USB flash drive by circumventing the password authorization software on a host computer," writes Computerworld's Lucas Mearian.

"Verbatim warned that the security flaw exists in its Verbatim Corporate Secure and Corporate Secure FIPS Edition series of USB flash drives; SanDisk revealed a threat related to its Cruzer Enterprise series of USB flash drives," Mearian writes. "Both companies issued online application upgrades to address the issue."
