One might chalk that up to an inconvenient lesson learned, but unfortunately the contents of that backpack were beyond valuable.

Data Sanitization is the Green Solution

Sanitize to Prevent Waste! Where does data go when it’s no longer needed? Companies often have untold terabytes of data stored on hard drives that they no longer have a use for, but it’s still essential that the data isn’t accessible. Why Should You Sanitize Hard Drives, Not Destroy Them? Unfortunately, this has led to the solution of simply destroying the hard drive through shredding, breaking, or burning it, and then throwing it in a landfill. Not only is this bad for the environment, but it underestimates the ability of bad actors. The truth is, information can still be accessed on a hard drive even when it’s been “destroyed”. So

Your Personal Information May Have Been Mishandled in a Data Breach

The SEC charged Morgan Stanley with extensive failures in protecting the personal identifying information (PII) of about 15 million customers. Morgan Stanley will be paying a $35 million penalty fee for selling used hard drives on eBay without first sanitizing the drives. Since at least 2015, Morgan Stanley has not properly disposed of devices holding sensitive customer data, according to the settlement. Sanitizing hard drives in the traditional way is very costly and time consuming. It typically takes up to 10 hours to sanitize one drive. Using a drive shredder, which physically breaks down hard drives into small pieces, is also costly and results in unnecessary and environmentally unfriendly physical
