Stop and Encrypt Your Flashdrives

leave a comment »

Another person called and said they lost their drive with critical data on it.  No I can’t trace it.  

Stop and Encrypt Your Flashdrives – take everything off and copy it to your desktop.  Erase the drive.   Install SafeHouse or TrueCrypt.   Now create an encrypted volume on the drive.   A new drive letter will appear.

 Copy your files back on to the drive.  Make sure you create a complex password during the setup.
