So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn’t be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.
I bet what you were handling wasn’t -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.
Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There’s all sorts of drives that shouldn’t be out in the wild, out in the wild.
I’m a little surprised there isn’t buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.
Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they’d be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.
what would be your way of disposing that sensitive data?
not arguing that there are disks beind disposed inproperly.
