Near the top of any company’s agenda should be the data protection. What do you do when it’s time to replace an old, perhaps non-functional, hard-drive?
Recycling programs will take them, but can you be certain that the data is secure? Once it leaves your hands, it’s anybody’s guess—even if it’s not the fault of the recycling company.
You could first erase the drive, but what if the drive can no longer be read? What’s more, erasing a drive does not eliminate any data, it only tells a computer that it’s safe to write over certain portions of the drive.
What about that option where you can write 0s and 1s all over the drive? That must be secure.
Wrong. With today’s technology, someone who really wants your data can in fact read through those new 1s and 0s. It is difficult, but it has been done and will surely be done again.
The only surefire way to ensure that nobody can obtain your data is by physically destroying the drive. There are myriad ways to do this:
– extremely dangerous chemicals, which can cause severe respiratory damage
– a sledgehammer, which risks shards of extremely brittle metal flying everywhere, posing a danger to you and everyone around you, as well as eliminating just about any value you could have gotten from recycling the scrap
