Can a file's data leak from a VeraCrypt volume even if I don’t interact with the file? Just by mounting the volume?
According to the official documentation when a VeraCrypt volume is mounted, data stored in the VeraCrypt volume may be written to unencrypted volumes. I understand that when a file is open it may leak content outside the VeraCrypt volume and I'm ok with that. However, can data leak even if I don't open or interact with the file, just because the VeraCrypt volume is mounted?
For example, I have a text file with my bank account credentials. Even if I don't open the file, is there a possibility that its content could leak outside the volume?
Also, are there any methods or tools I can use to check if and when data inside a VeraCrypt volume leaks?
Thank you.
