Data on a drive is at risk at all times. A recent story is the hack into the Sony Playstation. This database included player information and credit cards. Sony has said that the credit card information was encrypted and not currently at risk, but a hack still occured and not everyone has the same amount of data protection as Sony.

Data Destruction is a critical element in the disposal cycle of any hardware. Old computers or other hardware may have data stored on them including company secrets, customer information, or personal data.

When a computer is sold or recycled the data located on the drives should be destroyed completely.

Vernon Technology Solutions can help you safely recycle your old hardware and crush your old hard disks.
