title: Is it possible for a hacker to read the data in a Postgres database if they copy the database files?
body: <p>Assume that I do not enable encryption at rest for my POSTGRES database, and the database is installed in a VM which has bitlocker encryption.</p>
  <p>If  a hacker copies the database files, can they read the data? How can the copied database files be misused by hackers if the database is not encrypted at rest?</p>
