Yes, this problem only affects UEFI boot as far as I know. > My actual question is > that do I need to worry about memory not being wiped completely? It may indeed be the case that it's not wiped completely. I doubt it personally, but you can't be 100% certain without actually verifying it, so better assume the worst case. > IF yes what measures can I take for proper wiping of memory.
