Well, I messed up and left a flash drive laying around where some douche was able to format it on me (I know who it was), and copy who knows what from it… including financial info (I’m sure this can be classified as some kind of privacy violation, among etheical since it happened @ work… but I’m not going to go into that right now. Still debating on how I want to handle it).
the fggt even, as far as I can tell, did a low level format on it since I can’t see anything to undelete (unless flash memory works differently than physical memory). So to prevent this from ever happening again, I want to encrypt the drive from prying eyes, malicious “employees” among others.
can you suggest a program? My old geeksquad 1gb drive has the U3 security but prefer the larger space on the PNY. Any ideas?
i bet with some research you can make any usb drive do this.
i started playing with a secure usb drive that was used as my browser cache and encryption using some free tools but i got busy with other projects and stopped.
i remember seeing one that had an attachment you would wear or keep on you… and after u stepped out of range, the drive would be unuseable… cant remember where i saw it.
