Computer Disposal and Security
------------------------------------------------------
Computer Disposal - Security is not only important while
using your new PC, but when disposing of your legacy or old
computer equipment as well. Information can be retrieved in
several different ways once your system leaves your house or
office. In my state we have a recycling container at the
solid waste authority which you can bring your old PC's to.
On May 31st, 2005, I decided to do an experiment and see
what people actually throw away. So, I took my trusty
laptop, an external USB hard drive shell, and waited for my
first victim. (All identities have been changed to protect

Leaving Your Credit Cards At The Dump
--------------------------
John Doe (age ' 46)
I explained my reason for being there and asked if he would
like to participate. After obliging, I asked him a few
question. I got a laugh out of this one.
Jackson ' 'What would you say your technical skills are''
John ' 'I don't know -bleep-, this is my son's computer, and
he said it was broke'
So I proceeded to take his hard drive out to see what I
could find. (And boy did I find stuff) I found 64 word and
excel documents containing everything from a book report
titled Trusting Human Nature to a detailed spreadsheet
titled Our Debt. John said "a year ago, we refinanced our
house, and my son helped us put this spreadsheet together of
our credit cards and miscellaneous debts". Believe it or not
it, actually had the names of the credit cards, account
numbers, and amount owed on each one. After I showed John,
he asked me to check if his son was surfing on sites he was
asked not to go on. I told him the system looked clean and
his son was following his rules to a T. (You owe me Junior)
Out of 5 PC's I saw that day, all of them had recoverable
files. John Doe's being the worst with the Our Debt
spreadsheet.
What should I do'
-----------------------------------
There are many applications that can help you format your
hard disk drive, but even their lawyers won't allow them to
say its 100% effective.
So, what should you do' Here are a couple ideas on computer
disposal that may help:
* Go ahead and recycle your computer in an EPA fashion,
but remove your hard disk drive and add it to your new
system for extra storage (Secure);
* Find a local company that will melt you hard disk
drive. Usually a recycler or machine shop will do this for
you (Secure, but it will cost money);
* Find a local company that will use a degaussing
machine in order to eradicate your hard disk drive (Secure,
but it will cost money);
* Use a secondary application to format your drive, but
run the program 3-5 times ......
