It was on my keyring this morning, but not there now.

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.

You gormless sod lol...bet you've got loads of porn on it too.

Nope my CV was so big, not enuff space for porn.

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

Unless it's a psycho!

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.

Sucks to be you! No advice, but just wanted to say that it sucks to be you.

Ha found it!


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

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

Guess it doesn't suck to be you anymore. Glad you found it.
