Summary This article discusses common causes and solutions for information leaks due to users storing important files on computers and USB drives without encryption or protection, highlighting the need for increased security awareness.
I. Reasons and countermeasures for information leakage of mobile hard disk files
The primary cause of information leakage on mobile hard disks is the use of USB devices to transfer data, resulting in file leakage. When working, we frequently store files on USB hard disks for convenience and then transfer the data to other computers, which often leads to the risk of information leakage.
Indeed, it is possible to use USB external drives safely. Excessive worry is unwarranted. To tackle potential risks efficiently, I recommend employing Renee USB Block to securely manage your portable hard drives.
Renee USB Block is professional software designed to protect data on USB devices. To use it, simply connect your USB mobile hard disk to your computer and open the software. Add the USB mobile hard disk to the software’s white list to ensure safe identification and access to reliable USB mobile hard disks, while blocking connections from untrustworthy ones. Here are the specific operation steps:

4. After adding the USB mobile device to the white list, only trusted USB mobile hard disks will be allowed to connect to the computer, eliminating the risk of unauthorized mobile storage device connections.
II. Causes and countermeasures of file information leakage on the computer
When working in a company, many people save important files on their computers. File information can leak due to two reasons: internal employees leaking information and virus-carrying software causing file leakage. To solve this problem, you can use Renee SecureSilo.
Renee SecureSilo is highly popular encryption software known for its convenience and security. Users can easily create an encrypted private disk using the software and safeguard their files by storing them on the private disk.
Easy to modify – The software utilizes a virtual disk for encryption, allowing for easy modification. Users can create a virtual disk, store files, and close it when not in use. This convenient process eliminates the need for lengthy waits when modifying or adding files, as changes are saved in under a second.
Good security – due to the private format of the virtual disk, and the use of advanced AES256 encryption technology. There is no universal cracking program available on the market.
Renee SecureSilo – Encrypt Confidential Data
Encrypt files in seconds Encrypt files with virtual encrypted disk and whole process can be finished in 1 second.
User friendly Concise interface helps users master the software in short time.
Let’s take a look at the specific operation steps of the software:
1. Download and install Renee SecureSilo.
2. After downloading, open the software and set a login password in the pop-up interface. You will need to enter this password every time you use the software.
3. Click on the encrypted file and select “Create Silo” to create a virtual disk.
4. After creating the virtual disk, set an open password for the virtual disk.
5. After setting the password, select the size range of the disk, then click “Next” and wait for the encryption to complete.
6. The user puts the files to be encrypted into the created virtual disk, and then closes the private disk to complete the locking.
7. If the user needs to delete the Silo, then open the software, select the private disk in the encrypted file interface, then click “Edit Silo“, then select “Delete“, select “Yes” in the pop-up prompt box, and then ” Enter password” to complete the unlocking.
III. Other situations and countermeasures that may cause information leakage
Our files are not absolutely safe even with the countermeasures mentioned above. Information leakage may occur when we scrap old computers. To prevent this, it is necessary to completely delete important files before scrapping the computer. If there is a concern about data loss, one can use Renee Becca to back up files before deleting them on the old computer.
