Old Hard Drives

"Sensitive Data Left on Old Hard Drives. Surveys reveal widespread failures to remove sensitive data from old hard drives."

We pulled this title off an article from PC World. Everyday people across America fall victim to identity theft. One easy way to protect yourself against becoming a victim is to ensure that your old hard drives are either destroyed or wiped clean. Consumers are unaware of the ease of recovering data off of their discarded hard drives.

Your computer may retain vital information such as old email, passwords, credit card numbers, and in some cases your social security number and date of birth. We offer to all our clients who purchase a new computer free data wiping of their old drives. We also encourage our customers to destroy their hard drives rather than donate them along with their PC.

As always, if you have any questions, we encourage you to call and ask.
