Just donating an old computer may become a thing of the past.The need to conform to federal regulations and keep private personal information from falling into the hands of Identity Thieves requires making sure that confidential data is 100% removed from your computer.
What are the best ways to destroy data is open to debate.
Choices include using software to overwrite information or actually destroying where the information resides; i.e., hard drives, tapes, CDs and DVDs.
“Even if you don’t run a business, I recommend getting into the habit of making sure to remove all information on your computer,” said, Phil Kuhlenbeck owner of www.scrapitout.com, a data destruction service company.
Everyone is at risk for having their identities stolen because most people don’t think to destroy the old data on their computer before getting rid of it— and if it happens to you serious financial consequences could result.
"The good news is, anybody could handle this themselves," Kuhlenbeck goes on to say, "Most people can handle this themselves and most of the time for free and it is easy to destroyed old data 100% before discarding an old computer.”
