This sounds like fraud to me.
- aliqot 4y ago> Fraud - the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right. You don't 'accidentally' mistake weak XOR obfuscation with AES, so this is fraud. However whether that results in any tangible legal action is debatable. I have strong doubts given the corporatocratic nature of the corporate judicial outcomes in USA. Are these sold online? Wire fraud is a common enhancement to a lot of criminal charges involving fraud taking place online or over phone.

- abeyer 4y agowell, it kind of is... it just has the unfortunate requirements that your password be the same size as your data and never get reused.
