When software forces a user to verify online, "Phone Home", before use, it creates an opportunity for private data created with this software to be physically connected to the Internet.
This may not be a big deal for some, but what if the data is sensitive or worth thousands of dollars? Even if the data is stored on a second drive that isn't plugged in, this doesn't mean there isn't an unknown exploit storing it on the OS hard drive.
Without requiring user to be a security expert, assuming their may be an exploit in the OS or in a running app, is there an absolute way to protect personal data created with an app requiring an online sign in?
