mba 2012 protect data against theft
I found an article at TUAW which talks about the Passware Kit Forensic 11.4 software designed to 'crack' Filevault 2. However, this software can be foiled by two simple configuration points: 1/ turn off automatic login &amp; 2/ shutdown the Mac instead of sleeping when you travel. In addition, the software requires physical access through a firewire or thunderbolt port so your computer cannot be touched through remote access.

The Privacycast site has this detailed article for your edification.



Seeing that you have a MacBook Air, with its astoundingly brief startup time, I'm not sure why you keep it in sleep mode whilst traveling. I never put my MBA to sleep unless I'm at home. If somebody steals my MBA while I'm home, I have a substantially larger problem on my hands.
