Why Shred or Destroy Your Hard Drives?
You probably think that “deleting” a file will do the job. However, this is actually not the case. Although you or common people will probably be unable to recover deleted files, criminals of today are very tech-savvy. They have devised ingenious ways to recover these files. After all, a “deleted” file is not completely erased. It is only tagged as additional storage space for future use. In fact, forensic investigators have special techniques to recover deleted files from computers, gadgets and other technology.
It is very crucial for individuals, families, and businesses to dispose of hard drives and similar items containing sensitive information securely. If these devices fall into the wrong hands, the consequences can be devastating, as criminals are always ready to exploit any opportunity to profit illegally. Therefore, when discarding old or faulty computers, ensure that the hard drives are thoroughly and securely destroyed.
