Re: Ok People
Just possibly, because your large/important file/partition was encrypted.
OTOH if a random hostile has seen that there is encrypted data on the drive it gives them a stronger incentive to try to sneak spyware in to your computer via the returned drive. So retrieve your encrypted file/partition using a sacrificial computer. If you are truly paranoid then validity-test the retrieved data on a second sacrificial computer that is not networked.
