Due to the proliferation of smartphones, the Internet is now even more accessible to teenagers wherever they go and despite Amanda's cautionary tale being well-known in the U.S., many American teenagers continue to practice sexting—an act of capturing videos or images of themselves in the nude or in various sexual acts and forwarding them to their friends. Even if the recipients do not intend to leak the nude images of their friends, these phones do not have the safety features of a flash drive with USB encryption. Once stolen or hacked into by a third party, these videos and photos become very easy to disseminate.

USB Encryption Protects Private Files, Prevents Parasite Porn Sites Access to Sensitive Content

Macs are “not safe from malware, attacks will increase,” says Microsoft in a May 2012 ZDNet article penned by Emil Protalinski. Had it been published a few months earlier, no one would probably buy the statement as many people who have switched from a Windows-based computing device has done so partly because Macs do not get viruses. “The lure of a virtually virus-proof Apple product is strong,” says Chris Warren from Applecture.com. However, like the Windows article, he warned that the increase of Mac users make cybercriminals more interested in developing malware to attack Macs. Consider it a call for Mac users to be more careful in surfing the web, install and update anti-malware software, and use devises such as the safer encrypted flash drive.

WSOCTV.com discusses the increasing number of cases of security breaches in North Carolina government agencies, wherein over 26,000 North Carolinians have been affected by six incidents of breaches for this year alone. Commonly reported security breach cases range from stolen laptops to missing USB drives and hard drives, which are popular storage devices of sensitive information. In response, the state claims to have notified those affected by the breach and informed consumer reporting agencies as required by the law. These days, a single leak of personal information can destroy a reputation and scrape off savings. The writer also mentions that according to experts, breach of personal information is a precursor to identity theft, which many people do to steal money or to get away with legal charges. Hence, there's definitely a need for laptop and USB encryption technology to protect sensitive information from being used by crooks to their advantage.

The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in New York alerted 537 patients to a possible breach in their medical information when a resident physician couldn't find a flash drive containing confidential patient data despite an exhaustive search. The unencrypted drive has the name, diagnosis, birth date, telephone number, and other important private details of these patients. While the hospital claims there was no harm done, since the flash drive was initially believed to have been destroyed in the laundry, there was no proof of the device's whereabouts so the incident still poses certain risks. Despite existing regulations on encrypting portable devices containing patients' health information, many healthcare centers and providers continue to become victims of security breaches. This presents the need for a quality encrypted flash drive, such as the LOK-IT Secure Flash Drive manufactured by Systematic Development Group, LLC, to keep data from being compromised.
