Stop using non-private UBSs!

Storing sensitive files on a normal USB drive is like writing your diary on a sticky note and leaving it in a taxi. If someone gets the drive, they get the files with no hacking required. But luckily you can use encryption to protect what's on your USB thumbdrive.

Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about control. And encrypted storage is one of the simplest ways to take some of that control back when it comes to who can access your data. Just choose the tool that best fits your threat model.
