(Even if Bachrach> it was encrypted, passworded, deleted, etc.) Correct. Eternal vigilance is the key. Take it off the network, unplug it, lock the case, encase it in a cube of concrete 20 feet on a side. Then take the concrete block, and suspend it by a steel-cored hawser, hanging off an Steel A from, such that the cube is at least 20 feet off the ground. Install pressure sensers all around the A frame. Put the A frame and sensors on a fenced concrete compound about a 100 feet on a side, with bright lights on all corners and on each side, including a light at the top of the A fram, and one under neath the cube. Make sure that the hawser and the A frame are electrically secure (i.e., have a noncundoctor in the path). Put manned watch towers all around, with motiton detectors socketed into heavy machine guns. Make sure the guards on site can't turn off the defenses (keep the key in a bank vault offsite). Even then the system is not secure, but you are getting close. manoj -- Beware of a dark-haired man with a loud tie.
