It's just got less loopholes and it's also a less popular target for hackers just because of the unique market where Linux thrives. Anything is hackable to an extent, just have to find a way to hack it xD

basicly, if u gain physical access to the computer, u own it.
nothing fancy here.. -
@CSaratakij Hahha, but the bad guys didnt had any physical access, still they sudoed it...

sudoguy5938yStick with best practices. Disable services you don't use and secure that you use. Setting up iptables should help you too. Update regularly and be cautious when you install non-repository software.

@sudoguy Harder to view ur exact data for sure xD
but Im not sure if it will protect on runtime.

sudoguy5938yI was replying on physical access. I know that you can boot live cd or get root access via grub and do what you want with the OS. But I don't know how you can achieve that when there is full drive encryption.
When you get somehow into OS while running than encryption won't save you much. But I don't know how physical access will help you in this scenario. -

sudoguy5938y@aayusharyan It depends. The encryption password can't be changed without knowing it (unlike your login password). But we have backups right :) ?
