Ask Slashdot: How To Bequeath Sensitive Information? 208
New submitter UrsaMajor987 (3604759) writes I recently retired after a long career in IT. I am not ready to kick the bucket quite yet, but having seen the difficulty created by people dying without a will and documenting what they have and where it is, I am busy doing just that. At the end of it all, I will have documentation on financial accounts, passwords, etc., which I will want to share with a few people who are pretty far away. I can always print a copy and have it delivered to them, but is there any way to share this sort of information electronically? There are lots of things to secure transmission of data, but once it arrives on the recipients' desktop, you run the risk of their system being compromised and exposing the data. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is paper still the most secure way to go?

Find a young child to give all your memories to. Hopefully he doesn't run away after learning the horrible secrets of the IT world.

(As an example, put the disc in a DVD or Blu-ray case behind another one with a movie on it.)
It's funny, I do the exact opposite, I hide selected movies behind CD's labeled "Finance Data."
