Whilst it's obviously best to not install/uninstall the dodgy updates, perhaps a secondary line of defence is to use a firewall to prevent the OS...
It's rather misleading calling it FDE though isn't it, as it only encrypts the data partition, not the system partition where the OS and apps are...
I found this page, which is hardly authoritative but does at least give a fairly easy to understand description of the basics of how e-mail works:...
Thanks deBoetie, I'll have a good read through those documents and see if there's anything that might be helpful to my case. On the issue of...
Thanks deBoetie, that link does indicate that the NHS at least consider using unencrypted e-mail to be unacceptable and they must have based this...
I agree that the ICO is very weak on this. I read a paper by a NHS hospital discussing the risks of sending confidential data by e-mail, which...
The NHS at least seems to be alert to the risk and prohibits sending confidential information other than via it's secure internal e-mail system....
Thanks. I'm in the UK and I'm not sure that there's any law that says such records have to be encrypted but the Data Protection Act does indicate...
The position I find myself in is that an organisation has sent my highly confidential and sensitive medical and financial documents to another...
I guess it could be improved by having the unlocking program run from a USB stick, which can be kept on the person leaving less opportunity for it...
Ah I see, so I guess it previously decrypted itself automatically using a key stored in the firmware and now I've changed it to a passphrase that...
PIA have said: "The Ruby processes are intentionally designed to randomize as a security measure to avoid a possible exploitation on your system....
I had some problems with the PiA client, apparently due to using TCP on port 443, which I thought would be useful to help mask the traffic but it...
I'm happy to confirm that I've been able to encrypt my 850 Evo on my Acer Travelmate 5720 using msed. I don't actually understand when the data...
The author of msed has advised that it doesn't need a TPM chip, just Opal support, so I've ordered a 120GB Samsung 850 Evo as that does support Opal.
OK, so I guess whichever adapter (Bridged or NAT) is first in the order list, then the VPN TAP attaches to that and sends it's encrypted data over...
I've just noticed something rather worrying. I'm connected to the VPN and downloading a torrent to a VM Shared Folder on the host (mapped to F:...
Yeah, it's probably better to do all browsing in the VM, other than real identity stuff which I'll do on the host. Exploring my original idea...
Yeah, I was just thinking that maybe it could query the registry for identifying data and include that in any debug reports it might upload, or...
I'm sure you're right that one should use separate systems for anonymous activity and secure true name activity. I couldn't be bothered with...
It's a bit of both for me. It's quite tricky to maintain anonymity though, as if you're serious you need to avoid logging into any websites whilst...
Yeah, sorry I always do that. The VM is running Windows. OK, so I can create rules in Comodo on the host to channel the VM traffic over the VPN,...
I do want to control traffic by app on the Vbox, to ensure that only what I want is connecting. It's easy to create rules for the apps but not to...
Thanks for confirming. I'll get the EVO 850 then. Even if the BIOS doesn't properly support hardware encryption, it looks like msed will do the...
I want to get a SSD to replace the HDD in an old Acer Travelmate 5720 laptop with a Core 2 Duo T7300 2Ghz. The BIOS has an option to set a HDD...
