Disk Encryption & Spyware
Disk Encryption is Spyware Unsafe
-
Most people choose Disk Encryption like: BitLocker, FileVault, LUKS, VeraCrypt, Cryptomator etc. because it encrypts at drive level​
-
Once the drive is unlocked a logical drive (or mount point) is presented to the user. All applications can now open all files
-
Spyware also has access to all files in the logical drive (or mount point) from the inside once your drive is unlocked
-
This is why Disk Encryption doesn't protect against Spyware and only File Encryption offers constant protection !
File Encryption & Spyware
File Encryption is Spyware Safe
-
Encrypting Files keeps your OS / Encryption App from offering a logical drive / mount point
-
Spyware can get to any (logical) drive / mount but the files inside the drive / mount are encrypted
-
This is why File Encryption does protect against Spyware running in the background
-
FinalCrypt is the only unbreakable OTP (Mass) File Encryption application publicly available
