Identity Thieves Now Dumpster Diving for Your Information
Recently, a doctor got sued out of business because he put his computer in the trash and Identity Thieves took it out of the trash, turned it on and stole all his client information then scammed millions of dollars out of their accounts.
(I-Newswire) - Since June 1, 2005 businesses have had to adhere to new FTC rules on destroying consumer records such as credit reports and financial data or face civil penalties.
The idea is to prevent "Dumpster diving" — in which criminals look through trash and discarded business files to obtain personal information on customers.
The rules apply to both large and small organizations that use consumer credit reports in business transactions.
Phil Kuhlenbeck, owner of Scrapitout.com, a Computer Recycler and Data Destruction Company with locations nationwide, said, "This law affects most everyone, individuals and organizations of all size."
There are many commercially available programs that claim to wipe all the data of hard drives. Yet, during testing with commercially purchased "data recovery" software it is possible to see and undelete a large amount of files from free space that was supposed to have been wiped clean.
"Kuhlenbeck went on to say, "everyone is at risk for having their identities stolen — and if it happens, serious consequences could result. It’s because this issue is so important that we are providing free instructions on how to remove data 100%."
