Sensitive files on flash drive

12-24-2007

I use a password protected flash drive which contains personal financial
information.
Does leaving it plugged in to my PC increase the security risk?

Yes! If the drive is not there, they can't get the data. In the machine,
they can use cracker programs to get the password.
