- Spivak 5y agoEh, a sticky note is pretty darn secure for the kinds of attacks you care about. If your attack vector is someone breaking into your office the security game changes completely.
- Arrath 5y agoYeah they either need a keycard or some tailgating to get to the bottom of my keyboard at which point they could just take the damn laptop and shuck the drive into an external enclosure and get everything that way, so nbd in my opinion.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y ago> shuck the drive into an external enclosure and get everything that way Disk encryption (ie, BitLocker) is supposed to prevent that from working.
- cesarb 5y ago> If your attack vector is someone breaking into your office the security game changes completely. There are at least two other important attack vectors against "sticky notes": accidental sharing through photographs and/or online meeting cameras, and visitors memorizing visible passwords. Both are defeated by hiding the sticky note below the keyboard, but my guess is that most people leave it visible on the monitor bezel.
