Drive On!

Hey, readers.

How's tricks?

This is just a short blog.

More of a public service announcement, actually.

According to bbc.co.uk, hard drives purchased at computer fairs and online contained sensitive data such as bank records, personal medical information, and in one case, launch protocols for anti-ballistic missiles.

Your data lives on.

Standard cleaning methods or even some programs which overwrite data do NOT make the data unrecoverable. There are numerous mining and recovery programs available for use by all sorts of nefarious individuals.

I know we would all like to recover some of the cost of drive replacement.

Just remember, like Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, the ghosts of your past can return and make you pay.
