LOL, thinking of selling your Hard-Drive on eBay?
Think again.:
"Much of the data we found was truly shocking. One of the drives once lived in an ATM. It contained a year's worth of financial transactions?including account numbers and withdrawal amounts?from a organization that had a legal requirement to not divulge such information. Two other drives contained more than 5,000 credit card numbers?it looked as if one had been inside a cash register. Another had e-mail and personal financial records of a 45-year-old fellow in Georgia. The man is divorced, paying child support and dating a woman he met in Savannah. And, oh yeah, he's really into pornography."
