[NEW PROJECT] LockedUSB Adapter MK2 Charge Only USB Adapter
Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2014 5:36 pm
Hi Everyone,
Leo here, SVP of Hardware Development at LM Engineering Designs.
We are back and ready to Launch our second campaign on Kickstarter for a new and improved version of our original Charge Only USB adapter. Last year we ran a very successfully campaign where we raised about 150% of our initial goal and almost double that in pre-order after the campaign was closed. Feedback was positive on all counts.
For those not familiar with LockedUSB Adapter, The device is a small adapter that allows portable devices to fast-charge at their maximum rated current, while keeping the data lines completely isolated.
LockedUSB Adapter MK2 is much smaller than it predecessor, it's only 1.5'' long by 0.7'' wide, making it the smallest USB Charger firewall in the market; while still keeping its internal dedicated controller. LockedUSB Adapter MK2 will fully comply with FCC Part 15 (On the US) & CE (in EU), you will have the peace of mind that the adapter will be thoroughly tested by a certified 3rd Party Certification House. It will not interfere with any of your other devices. It will ship in a fully retail ready package, sealed and protected with a 1 Year Limited Warranty.
Last year researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology produced fake chargers, they’ve named Mactans, that do more than just charge your phone. They install custom, malicious applications onto iPhones and gain access to all of your personal data. Last month Security Experts said, “There is no quick fix for BadUSB Hack”. BadUSB, a critical security USB flaw identified earlier this year, can be exploited by hackers using practically any USB device. Recently experts published it’s code online, and the issue is spreading like wildfire. LockedUSB Charger Firewall was designed specifically to protect you from this alarming development.
LockedUSB MK2 can keep your devices protected. It allows charging of your devices at the maximum rated current while no data communication is exchanged, this mean that no possible hack can infect your host device (Laptop), and also no information can leave your mobile device. LockedUSB MK2 have no internal firmware, everything is handled by hardware so it is not vulnerable to any programing hacks.
We are getting everything ready to publish our press release in CrowdFundingPR very soon, so stay tune for that.
LockedUSB Adapter MK2 Kickstarter Campaign will go live on November 13th. 2014
