Discarded Hard Drives Still Contain Data
Posted in Company Press
Quote from PC Disposal: "As companies get ready to clean their closets, drive cleansing should be more than just an afterthought," said Kory Bostwick of PC Disposal. "Considering that trade secrets or other sensitive information could be on the drives, the company could be opening itself up for a lawsuit or identity theft if it's not careful."
Introducing the PrivaCage™ secure equipment container. When
you order PC Disposal's Secure Plus™ Risk Management Disposal service, these cages
will be delivered to your location. PrivaCages can easily be rolled from floor to floor
and room to room, allowing your staff to securely move old equipment to your shipping
dock for pickup by our company.
Sometimes publicity can be a bad thing. Like when
your company is in the news because client records were found in city dumps or bought on
an auction website. If recycling companies are keeping their promises to sanitize hard
drives, why does data keep showing up on hard drives that were supposed to be sanitized
or destroyed?
