[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1035562, member: 99014"] Disk encryption protects against attacks where physical access to the device could be gained. If you are afraid of such attacks, you can configure your device to lock or even shut down after a period of time. Disk encryption can not protect against ANY online attack, as at this stage, the data is already decrypted and accessible. To keep your data safe in case of online attack, various methods could be employed, you could use third-party encryption/vault, password-protected archive or cloud storage. It is not possible to hot switch BitLocker on and off - if attackers remove the HDD, it will be encrypted and that’s the whole point of it. [/QUOTE]
