Invisible but still there
5th May 2006, 01:59 GMT
I just got an e-mail about this CW article. Seems an Idaho utility company is learning a very valuable lesson about the dangers of reselling used computer equipment. The utility company learned that hard drives it thought had been cleaned of data before being resold were not. Or, more accurately, they were cleaned, but the data was still there. There's the hitch. Reselling unused hard drives is a great way to put a little money back into the bottom line and clean out the back room. There's just one little problem--the data stored on those hard drives.
