    Fred,

    Make sure you write about this in Windows Secrets and let us know the likely-hood of success. This is a known vulnerability so I would believe that the different disk encryption applications would minimize this from being possible.

    Peace,
    Randy

    It's not a remote attack; the hacker/tool has to have access to your PC.

    It's less of a threat than it initially sounded.
