Thailand intercepting emails

[sgtsabai]

Ah, I'm a bit confused by your "stupid statement" followed by "everything you said is entirely true". Can you interpret that please? I do try to find as much information as possible and that which isn't so technical that I can't understand it. Interesting article: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/12/tracking-isis-stalking-cia-big-brother-online-nsa

And I thought I had it bad when my ex-wife (American bitch) used to re-program my satellite from downloading and recording porn in the middle of the night to her soap operas. Best way to foil that little plot, get a new gf etc. Full disc encryption does work pretty well. The local "shop" won't break it and even the government will play hell for a long time. Even with the demise of TruCrypt there are free ones that work. Don't loose the password.

You meant: DON'T FORGET the password, didn't you?

yea...lol. I'm afflicted with CRS, Can't Remember Sh*t.

TrueCrypt shut down sometime back unexpectedly. I still have not seen the reason. It was believed that something or someone was compromised. I'm not sure if the people behind TrueCrypt are even known, but they recommended that people stop using and use another method. Windows 7 Pro and later has an encryption function built in. Given microspy's cooperation with the feds bet on a back door built in. There are other free, good ones out there, check EFF for recommendations. While the gov't may not be able to crack, they can certainly force you to cough up the password, in more than one way.

Truecrypt 7.1a is still running normally on my computers.

Make the key/password in to a VERY long one and when under pressure, your brain won't work to remember the whole key/password.

A forked version of TrueCrypt is available, CipherShed, and it doesn't run without TrueCrypt uninstalled and also requires a lot more work before installation.

Not a recommendation, just information.

Have a look at this, haven't tried it myself yet, but will as soon as I have some spare time.

Never mind, get an old version of PGP, save the binary to USB stick, and also save an encrypted data file with all your secrets in it. You only need one pass phrase for decryption, but .... don't you tell
