FTC Fines Software Vendor Over False Data Encryption Claims

An anonymous reader writes: The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has fined a software vendor for lying about its product's encryption capabilities, despite being publicly warned by US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) not to do so.

The vendor got "only" a $250,000 fine.
