Why can’t I simply turn off my laptop or other electronic devices?
When we turn off our laptops or other electronic devices, we assume that they are no longer active and therefore not transmitting any information. However, this is not always the case. Many modern laptops and other electronic devices simply enter a sleep or hibernate mode and have features that allow them to remain partially active even when they are turned off. This can include things like wake-on-LAN functionality, which allows the device to be turned on remotely, or quick start-up features that enable the device to turn on faster. Additionally, electronic devices can also be vulnerable to remote attacks or hacking attempts, even when they are turned off. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the device's firmware or other software components to gain access to the device and potentially steal sensitive information. To address these concerns, some people may choose to use a GoDark Faraday Bag. These bags are designed to block electromagnetic signals, which can help prevent remote attacks and limit the ability of the device to transmit information. They are often used by journalists, activists, business travelers, and others who may be at a higher risk of being targeted by hackers or other attackers.
