Title
How to safely and securely destroy hard disk data
Introduction
Modern hard disks can hold a huge amount of data, even one from your 10 or 15 year old discared computer. People often say “Nobody would be interested in my data!” You might be surprised.
Email and social media login credentials are highly prized by hackers. A list of your contacts would enable a hacker to impersonate you and send them believable scams. They might be able to pick up snippets of all kinds of data aboout you, harmless in themselves, but useful in constructing an identity theft attempt. And more.
So it’s important that a hard disk never eaves your possession without the data being securely destroyed.
