Elements

Its a bit off topic but on the IceCube site is says:

So Ice is an element? Have they thought out using atoms of Fire, Earth and Air?

re: A word of warning

1) You installed a beta OS on your PC and didn't backup your files.

2) You formatted a volume and didn't double check it was the right one.

You fail at IT!

Germans seduce Jacqui over remote hacking of disks

4a$$Monkey

(untitled)

If you find it reasonable that the police / security services can use surveillance on telephones then it is not that unreasonable to allow them to access disks - but it should only be done with the appropriate judicial controls and warrants.

Like the article says with the proper precautionary measures you could stop plod planting the trojan in the first place.

re: You can't just hammer hard drives in big companies

I work in the education sector and we have over the last few weeks replaced about a hundred desktops and disposed of a handful of old servers. I know that's not a massive scale but it's not insignificant. In most cases Shred worked fine, with a few we had to use other tools and there were a dozen or so failed drives that had to be physical destroyed.

Yes it is a pain and it takes time but it has to be done*. Its the "too much time" attitude that cause these leaks.

*Think of the Children** :P

** Actually its people thinking of the Children that cause us to have to wipe everything :D

Linux

“Wiping data” may sound easy...

It's not hard guys:

1) Boot Linux CD

2) Open console F12

3) sudo -i

4) shred -f -v -z /dev/sda

If local authorities employed professionals instead of numpties this wouldn't happen.
