Lego-made Safe is secure enough to protect your belongings

A safe made of Lego bricks and claimed to be secure enough to protect all your belongings kept inside.

The Lego safe is equipped with a motion detecting alarm which goes off alerting others when it’s been moved from its original position. The lock is also secure enough which needs 5 double digit code to unlock it. This 5 double digit code gives over 305 billion different combinations. And the numbers are shown on the electronic status display when you turn the combination dials. The safe weighs 14 pounds when it’s empty.

What about making it fire-proof, water-proof and bullet-proof etc? The creator might have forgotten some of these necessary security features needed for a secure safe. Anyway, take a look at the video below of this Lego Safe in action.

Fujitsu secure USB flash drive with auto-erase function

USB flash drives are simply too convenient to bring along everywhere you go. And they’ll always get misplaced and lead to falling into wrong hands that would jeopardize your career.

Fujitsu has realized the importance of extra security for USB flash drives by having developed their first secure USB flash drive prototype (pictured above). The secure USB flash drive contains a processor and battery, it’ll erase all its data after a specified amount of time or once it’s detected that it’s plugged into an unregistered computer.

User can set how long the data to live on the USB flash drive, e.g 24 hours, and the data will be automatically deleted when the time is up or the drive is hooked up to unregistered computer.

Besides, Fujitsu also develops a second security technology, which uses file redirect to prevent files on a USB flash drive to be saved to another computer or uploaded to an unapproved server. The two security technologies from Fujitsu sound great, but I foresee there will be some intervention needed from the users, which may give little frustration to those with hectic lifestyle or the non-computer-literate.
