[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1110591, member: 114717"] Governments and organized cyber criminals have all kinds of methods. They are on a continuous development cycle of probing any aspect of any software and hardware for ways to exploit it. They literally have hundreds of tricks in their rabbit hat. There is a certain faction of people that believe the opinion below, so they've instigated Microsoft alternatives and at one time there was big drama about BitLocker. Years back, speculation of a Bitlocker backdoor was all the rage amongst the paranoid and anti-establishment ideologues. The solution was TrueCrypt and then VeraCrypt when the TrueCrypt project s h i t the bed. (Microsoft is no different than any other software publishers. Ideological people who contributed to FOSS projects meant to be anti-establishment have cooperated with many governments when those governments showed them who is boss. So much for those projects statement of "We will never cooperate! Never!") I own a company. I could care less what ANY government does to you or anyone else. I am not going to risk my company to defend your data as part of some principle or ideology. Only a fool would not cooperate with the government and thereby bring down an avalanche of really negative consequences. Besides. Who knows. You could be a terrorist or criminal, and I never support them by not cooperating. Essentially, this is a global business policy. If you worry about being a government getting access to your hard disk, then you've got much bigger problems. Never mind the fact that Dmitry and Igor Lybansky already have all your infos in their global network and gladly sell it to anyone willing to pay. [/QUOTE]
