Agreed, any data on the disk will have been compromised and any private keys for example cannot be trusted. The install can't be trusted as some sort of rootkit could be trivially installed by forensics types. Other than wiping the drives and starting with a fresh install and fresh keys, I would

FWIW, I've bought a number of hard drives from ebay. It's pretty amazing the sensitive data I could recover from them with the simplest of freeware. Luckily for them, I'm a good person. A simple wipe with DBAN would have prevented all that. Oh well. --- Landorin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >
