A 2013 attack by Xie Tao, Fanbao Liu, and Dengguo Feng breaks MD5 collision resistance in 2^18 time. This attack runs in less than a second on a regular computer.[2]

In 1996 a flaw was found in the design of MD5. While it was not deemed a fatal weakness at the time, cryptographers began recommending the use of other algorithms, such as SHA-1—which has since been found to be vulnerable as well.[4] In 2004 it was shown that MD5 is not collision resistant.[5] As such, MD5 is not suitable for applications like SSL certificates or digital signatures that rely on this property for digital security. Also in 2004 more serious flaws were discovered in MD5, making further use of the algorithm for security purposes questionable; specifically, a group of researchers described how to create a pair of files that share the same MD5 checksum.[6][7] Further advances were made in breaking MD5 in 2005, 2006, and 2007.[8] In December 2008, a group of researchers used this technique to fake SSL certificate validity.[9][10] As of 2010, the CMU Software Engineering Institute considers MD5 "cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use",[11] and most U.S. government applications now require the SHA-2 family of hash functions.[12] In 2012, the Flame malware exploited the weaknesses in MD5 to fake a Microsoft digital signature.

I occasionally smoke MD5 Hash

Are you German, by any chance?

The encryption program that I have to use has to be modified to prevent additional theft and attacks against IP.

Fortunately, the previous USB storage device loss was encrypted and it still prevents the thief to use it.

This will make it easier to encrypt the whole medium while browsing will function in RAM only.

The encryption program used to run encrypted folders with no data sharing between the other separately encrypted files.

It however left the root more vulnerable.

Now , with the new encryption method implemented, it will be easy to copy the code and keep it secure.

Yes, but that is obviously not enough, both attacks and security.

That's a good reason to keep the data elsewhere.
If it is strong enough for the front line...

RAM is Random Access Memory which does the same thing in the CPU as does ROM , EPROM and other types of RAM.
CPU is for central processing unit and ROM is for Read-only memory.

EPROM is for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.
An example of another type of RAM is video RAM.

ROM is non-volatile memory, meaning, or in the sense of, or that, it retains its stored data when the power is turned off, or is not going through if there is none, (possibly including the back-up battery).
RAM is volatile memory, meaning that it only works when the power is on.
Once the power is off, it removes content (stored data for analysis).

If you know the code (machine language code) that turns a machine on and off, you can even switch the controls in reverse.
That affects how the ROM works, and the RAM will not retain its data.

It is not abnormal for a program to use RAM as all programs are intended to use RAM.
To make unauthorized use of RAM requires an authority scheme to make it unauthorized.
Data from RAM can also be used against guideline after the fact.
You should not send data in RAM to a third party that would use the data against security measures to prevent damage or abuse of data, or enemy (/ies).
It could be treacherous.

Edit:
The secret services offers more than trade secret services.
Most trade secrets are for business and are more limited in scope than other security matters.
However, business can generate more money than other more important security matters deriving taxes in related percent or other scheme to cover those.
