Maybe some of you computer savy people will know what I am talking about. A while back I came across this website that took whatever site you were on and formated it into a Microsoft Word-type look. It would look like you were typing a document but instead were on the web. Anyone know what I am talking about?

One thing people don't realize is that ANYTHING can be recovered by IT geeks. I worked on a fraud case last year in which our IT team recovered deleted corporate e-mails, documents, files, browsing history, Yahoo e-mails, Instant Messages, anything you can imagine. Delete does not mean it's gone! These were recovered off a hard drive she had removed and tried to destroy with a hammer...but the IT team still was able to recover it, and the data was used in the report that lead to a fraud conviction. I know all this because I was the staff who had to sort through all the recovered data to find stuff that related to the fraud. It's really amazing what people say in IM's and e-mails...just be very careful what you do at work. I've seen what can be recovered
Yes, definitely. Rule of thumb when destroying hard drives is multiple passes with 1's and 0's (minimum of 7 times for military standard) and than alternating. Once done, than physically destroy. Anything you put on the internet is there forever pretty much.

Yeah there's a program called Eraser that writes 1's and 0's multiple times.
I've heard the only true way to prevent data recovery is to drill holes in the platter with a drill.

yup I carry a bootable DOD whiping program with me my magic CD case.. also got a little 20 meg HD that I carry all the ISO on..
what about throwin the whole thing in the microwave?
Would probably destroy the microwave before the data on the drive...at least with my old a$$ microwave.

Yes, just physically destroying a drive doesn't work. When you write to your hard drive you are burning little itty bitty grooves into it if you will, so if you don't destroy each little pot hole on the drive than that data can be recovered. Hence why you need to first write over your data multiple times.

If you write 1's and 0's multiple times, grind/machine the face completely smooth where the grooves are written, than drill holes I would think you are pretty safe.
