I would much prefer to destroy my hard drives to avoid such incident.

Good morning Robert Siciliano ,

Excellent advice thanks for the facts and what you should expect to do to make sure your identity is not compromised.

Great reminder and excellent advice, Robert. I think too many people are overly-casual in disposing of old electronics and phones.

Hi Robert -I would always prefer to totally destroym the hard drives before junking a computer.

Hi Robert- we have had the pleasure of physically destroying a number of hard drives in our past!  Such a good feeling. 

Thanks for the nuggets and insight....always a great reminder .....
