Deleting = Removed

The simple deletion of a file is not going to cut it. The deletion of a file is not an obstacle as far as private and confidential information is concerned. The contents of the file remain even after the most obvious pathway has been removed. Think of these pathways as the front door to a residence. Even without a front door, there are still other ways to get inside.

Any experienced thief or hacker is able to access the file. That is why Phiston Technologies plays an important role in completely destroying the information with their data crushers. Shredding the hard drive completely is the only way to keep all information out of the hands of would-be thieves.

All it takes is the purchase of a relatively inexpensive program for a hacker to restore any files that were on a drive that has been previously formatted. Data crushers are the easiest way to make sure that this sort of occurrence does not take place.
