How To Safely Discard Old Computers...
Computers retain and store enormous amounts of information that can be retrieved easily once in the hands
of a savvy computer technician interested in identity theft. Even if you have reformatted the hard drive, the data still exists. If you're thinking of selling, or even trashing your old computer, you
need to be aware that your personal information can be retrieved if you have not taken the proper precautions to destroy all relevant data.
Reformatting the hard drive, or even physically damaging the drive, won't discourage an identity theft criminal who wants your personal financial information.
Fortunately, new programs such as WipeDrive are designed specifically to render your personal information unretrievable.
