The problem is that your important information is not on your personal,
password-protected machine.

What good are your methods, as an Amuhrikan, if the IRS, your ISP, or the Social
Security Administration is cracked? Or maybe a credit agency, as has
already occurred. Nothing whatsoever.

C'est là où le bat blesse.

My French ISP was cracked, leaking my banking info. My medical insurance
entity (French tiers payant) was cracked, also leaking my personal
info. The cloud provider used by many French governmental agencies
suffered a fire in Strasbourg in which my personal information was lost.
All these things were beyond my control and had nothing to do with the
data or password-protection on my computer.

It's all useless babble here, if you are at all connected to the modern
world.
