Operating systems used to be released with security more full of holes than a shot-gunned Swiss cheese. Not so much these days.

Now, unauthorized access is mostly carried out by making an authorized user run a chunk of illicit code. An alarming email will make people click an executable attachment. Some of these people have credentials that will allow the intruders to jump on to the next system, and the next.

Alternately, you can find a system that's open to the Internet and has been left with default passwords. I could tell stories...

Anyway, with a mere minimum of effort, you will be protected against people going in blind, just because they have your drive on hand. Consider the ransomware attacks that have caused a whole lot of anxiety in the past year. Unauthorized users gain access via social engineering, phishing etc., encrypt harddrives and demand large sums in bitcoin to hand over the key. Do the attacked companies merely hire "a good hacker"? Nope. Modern encryption, when done conscientiously, really is good.

Figure it out. Use a life line. Call a friend. Show some personal responsibility. You are capable.

Seriously, one has to be pretty desperate to post something with that.

Oh, I thought Pedo Joe was the spawn of Satan. I had based that on his being a pedophile, racist, rapist, a liar, a thief,........, so I am thinking still he is the spawn of Satan, and so is his sidekick Ho Harris.

I just wish foreigners would butt out! Most of the countries they are from have enough problems to keep them busy if they focused on that.
