physical or any network available OOB. heres an example of what can go wrong 
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-5689

on a simpler level, you dont want someone compromising that plain text part of 
your drive, maybe your workstation at the office. this way, they really would 
need physical access to remove your drive and compromise that boot sector. 

or, if you have a laptop, you can use other means, like glittery nail polish to 
see if anyone physically entered your laptop. of course, there may be other 
vulns, so its still good to have anti aem, or sed.
