SecureDelete combats identity theft problem from second hand PCs
The use of SecureDelete from Diskeeper Corporation is an effective way to securely wipe all data from the computer hard drive ensuring that no access to personal data can be obtained.
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK and worldwide. A report this month by the BBC’s Real Story programme revealed that bank account details belonging to thousands of Britons are being sold in West Africa for less than £20 where, subsequently, access to personal data, including bank details can be retrieved for criminal use. The recycling of second hand computers can be a potential treasure trove of personal information as it is possible for fraudsters to easily access personal banking data - putting the original owners of these PCs at risk of fraud and identity theft.
It is not enough simply to delete files from a pc as it is still possible to access this data unless the hard drive, where all data is stored, is properly wiped.
An easy and effective solution to securely erase data is by using specialist software such as SecureDelete, one of features included in Undelete® 5, from leading software provider, Diskeeper Corporation. The SecureDelete function ensures that files are purged from the hard drive using a methodology developed for the National Security Agency. This ensures that whatever happens to your PC once you have disposed of it, all personal details, or any other information, is completely wiped from the records, beating the fraudsters and keeping user’s personal details safe.
