observer Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Seems hard drives retain info for years, and second hand ones are circulating with all sorts of sensitive data still on them - how do you erase the info? With a lump hammer?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I believe I brought this up not long ago - the best way is to burn it completely or take a hammer to the whole thing. I really have nothing to worry about on my computer, I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 It's not so much what is on your hard drive Mary; but what the big institutions have about you on their hard drives - which are being carelessly disposed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
