I've come to the realization after our recent move that the internal and external hard drives within or attached to my main PC contain too much personal information. Tax files, estate files (ours and family), and emails with information that I wouldn't want stolen. When we moved, those drives came with us on our drive across the country.
Protecting the PC from Internet attacks is manageable, but what about PCs being physically stolen? How do others here protect themselves against that, beyond protecting where you live?
I am starting to think I want to remove this information from my PC and copy to multiple, secured sources. In addition, the PC's internal hard drives would need to be properly scrubbed (deleted is not securely removed). Easier said than done, it seems.
