My primary accounts are not left logged in. I don't let my browser auto-fill passwords. Github for example has two-factor enabled. I somewhat regularly clean my browser data.
If a nation-state wants to "get me", they will. In fact most of us would probably not be able to withstand a targeted attack by a skilled or simply motivated attacker.
I don't expect my hard-drive being encrypted would save me in court. I probably wouldn't ultimately withstand a prolonged beating in defense of it either.
It all comes down to whether your juice is worth the squeeze. I have very little juice (on display), and I don't give anyone much reason to suspect there's more juice out there.
- jcrawfordor 10y agoThere are a lot of low-hanging fruit forensic techniques that would allow for recovery of data that was once on the device and you now think to be gone, like session tokens and cookies. One of the major reasons to use full-drive encryption is so that these forensic artifacts will be encrypted in addition to the files you still actually keep around. This is also why you should enable full-disk encryption at the very beginning, OR wait while the entire drive is rewritten when you enable it.
