Something I bet you didn't know about....

Well, I didn't....

This is a source of concern which I didn't know about until I saw this video clip which a friend emailed me.

I wonder how many of the machines used to copy your data...tax forms, health records, checks... well the list goes on and on... and how about the government, military, etc. are being sent who knows where without those HDD's being wiped?

I wonder who uses these "formerly owned or rented" copying machines now?

Also...there's not too damned much any of us can do about it, even if we did know.

Well that's pretty pathetic.

Seems like that "option" package with the wipe capability shouldn't be an "option", it should just be built in.  I know they said it was something like $500, but if they just built it in at the factory instead of as an add-on it probably wouldn't really add that much to the price.

'Course I would've thought that the oil industry might have given some thought to "How To Plug An Offshore Leak" before they started poking holes in the ocean floor, too.  I'm funny that way.  Guess they just figured they could drop an oversized brick on it or something.

 

i am with u on this   Dave - maybe we cld drop a brick on the copy manufacturers?  lol

i think the only way 2 b really sure yr hdd is clean is to smash it with a hammer, its fun and very theraputic
