As long as you lock the screen whenever leaving the machine, nobody can
easily log in. In this state, the login attempts can also be
rate-limited.
Of course, it is possible to use security vulnerabilities in the running

Getting the RAM content is also possible if the RAM is being frozen and
then removed from the motherboard.
I haven't heard of that in real situations.
