Installing an operating system and enabling encryption won’t overwrite the data on the entire disk. Instead, it will only overwrite on the specific sectors on which this operating system was installed.

Other “previous” data on the disk will remain intact and unaffected.

No.

That’s nice you’re mentioning SimpleX but its design is way too complicated compared to alternatives (e.g. Signal) that no one will use it.

Even as a tech-savvy person, I was shocked that I have to scan a QR code to chat. I can’t imagine how it feels for non-tech people.

As a result, who will you actually chat with? 🙂

Thank you very much! It works now!!! I used the disable-gpp0-wakeup service workaround from here. Unfortunately, I can’t wake my computer with the keyboard or mouse, only with the power button, but I’ll figure that out on my own.

Thank you so much for pointing out the issue.

Anyway they should configure their systems to reject unsigned e-mails and providers that don’t have a proper SPF configuration. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) allows you to make sure that the message was sent by an approved server and was not forged by some hackur.

Their site is just a landing page, there’s no login option or anything like that. Their business is a smartphone application.

Edit: Gmail uses SPF, DMARC and DKIM signing so spoofing is not possible if their email services are configured properly.

For now, I do not want to announce the name of this company publicly.

If they don’t want to solve it amicably, then I will do so.
