πΊ VIDEO / ποΈ INVESTIGATION
In the following report / video, covering information on computer repair / supply snooping. How there are deals with Geek Squad to report on customers, and how many times, a technician may have a copy of your files forever (can be the case with storage recovery jobs).
Real Sting Operation: professor of computer science sets up monitoring software on devices (phones / computers), some of which takes screenshots every few seconds to keep an eye on the user of device.
Those devices contain the photos (some revealing) of hired models specifically photographed for this sting operation.
In addition, false sets of tax documents are planted on the devices -- to see just how far computer technicians would like to take this...
Using this monitoring software, we are able to see what exactly computer technicians are looking at.

SOLUTION ZONE
This blog is not only about introducing current / pressing problems, it's also a place to share solutions for those problems.
Before taking in your device, for any sensitive financial / personal files, you may like to try making a encrypted volume.
There are several applications to choose from here. From Veracrypt, to Zulu-crypt. Both, using the same underlying process for encryption (choose which one you prefer).
Both, trusted applications.
If you wish to take things even further, you could try out creating hidden volumes -- such as my tutorial on creating hidden encrypted volumes inside a video file.
2 years ago, I covered this in a Pinephone tutorial on Zulu-crypt. You DO NOT need a Pinephone to try this.
ANY Linux device can use Zulu-crypt. Here, we create a hidden encrypted volume inside a video file.
You might rather opt for something more simple: an encrypted volume on USBstick, for example.
