Do you need to encrypt your hard drive or solid state drive using an encryption tool like Bitlocker, FileVault, or Veracrypt for your Windows or MacOS laptop/desktop? ABSOLUTELY! In this Techlore video tutorial/guide, I discuss and demonstrate the reasons why it is an absolutely necessity for you to encrypt your drives in order to properly secure your files, programs, and operating system from a basic attack involving booting into a live Linux distribution and mounting any unencrypted drive without your password. This can lead to viruses, keyloggers, identity theft, stolen documents/files, deleted documents/files, or writing illegal files which don't belong to you.

This is an extremely fast and simple hack/attack which can be done by any person who has a few minutes of physical access to your computer. This works on any version of Windows, any version of MacOS, and on both laptops and desktops as long as the drive is not encrypted. Even if you have a password to login! (A password is not drive encryption) This is a basic requirement if you hope to protect your digital security and privacy.

Additional Notes:
1) The absolute best thing you can do to combat this problem is by spreading the message. Make sure to share this video with all of your friends! Odds are they have no idea this is possible and think that a basic login password is enough. Protect your friends and family 👍
2) I am fully aware the both FileVault and BitLocker use proprietary encryption which most likely has backdoors by the company and/or the government. A) Having ANY encryption is still infinitely better than having nothing, B) These are the absolutely simplest ways to encrypt your computer and C) If you want genuinely good open encryption, consider using Veracrypt or a PGP drive encryption tool, although they are a bit trickier to setup.
3) Macs only mount in read-only, so you aren't able to copy files to a Mac computer or modify the Mac files. But you still have the capability of viewing them and copying them to another computer...still a huge risk!
4) Like the video says, adding a password to modify the boot priority and/or access the BIOS at all is an excellent security precaution, but it won't help you at all from someone who physically removes the drive from your computer.
5) A huge security benefit is if your laptop is ever lost or stolen, you know your data is safe :) Loading viruses and keyloggers are very sophisticated and quite honestly uncommon. Simple data robbery is the main attack we're avoiding.
