Comment on Do you encrypt your data drives?

I also have a hard time believing local file encryption can be that effective. All they need to do is capture your keystrokes.

It’s defense in depth. If I encrypt a rarely used file, capturing my keystrokes will eventually work, but it might be weeks or months before I return to decrypt that file. In the meantime, I might have realized I was hacked and restore the system.
