    This was a very unsatisfying article. The weirdness they are describing, is just the owner of the flash drive hired somebody else and they’re waiting for them to solve it because this other team did it without permission. They weren’t offering a reward for anybody to crack it or anything, they literally just decided to do it all by themselves. So the weird thing is that a random hacking team was presumptuous to assume the owner of the flash drive would jump at the opportunity to pay them for their services that weren’t even requested to begin with. Not very weird. Put the bulk of the article isn’t even about that, it’s more of a long-winded story about how awesome this hacking group is for figuring it out in the first place? I almost want to say this is an ad or a paid piece. Maybe to try to convince the data stick owner to call them? I dunno.

    Ultimately I feel like reading this was a waste of my time though.
