RE: HOWTO: Destruct your data
Thank you.
Yes i can imagine and i understand your point of view.
There needs to be only one person with bad intentions, who gets a used data drive. Of course this is the worst case, but it could happen.
I remember a local event in my city, about data security and they bought, if i remember well, 13 harddrives from Ghana, which were thrown away harddrives from Europe and a lot of data could be extracted from this drives.
Yes i already looked at the contest and i have to say this is one of the reason, why i like steemit so much. The people take care about others and want to keep the system alive and even make it better.

It can and sadly have seen it happen. Oh that's crazy. When we received government ewaste all we had to do is a DoD wipe which is about as clean as you can get a disk. At the first of the year the laws changed, any hard disk that comes for ANY company regardless of size has to be shredded. I am still a little amazed at how many people don't empty their cookies. People don't think anything of them, but don't realize what they do and what can happen.
Yeah thats true the most people dont worry about their cookies or data in common, as they dont know what can be done with them or because they dont know how to do it.
But only to be said: Sadly also laziness is a cause.
