I've lost my USB Key!
 
It was on my keyring this morning, but not there now. :banghead:

Not in my pockets either. Hope its not found by some ID fraudster.

Got my CV and other unencrypted data on. :(

Maybe I'll get a better job offer. :D

The amount and nature of the data I carry on my USB key is just scary!
So I always keep it encrypted using true crypt

Too bad I can't true crypt my cell phone! I won't even need to carry a USB key then!

Keepass is good for encrypting passwords and other sensitive data I believe you can get a version that will run on some phones

I do use portable keypass that is inside the true crypt container on the USB. (so passwords in keypass are automatically double encrypted, not that keypass requires it though..)

But I use the USB to carry my portable firefox, picasa, and ALL my documents, pictures, resume, etc.
and the truecrypt container is off course backed up to the cloud!

I have "named" all of my USB sticks with my full name. That way, if the finder wants to find me, I can be tracked down. Hopefully :)

I need to invest in a new secure usb key.

Thanks All for the above advice. I'll check them out.

Please feel free to offer more advice on what to get.

Ha found it! :thumbsup:


It was plugged into my laptop to download my PCCs. I must have taken it off the keyring which I don't normally do. :blink:

I won't keep it on my keyring anymore but somewhere safer.
