Well... kernel level software can access everything on your computer. That includes other partitions and unmounted drives

Only if those other partitions are not encrypted. Sure, it could still wipe them - but that's something that backups are good for, and something you would certainly notice immediately :)

Anything sensitive is encrypted and I never decrypt it while running windows.
