In today’s computer based society, gaining access to other people’s personal details has never been easier. Online social media only makes your personal details even more accessible as we literally post our most personal information on profiles for everyone to see. Sure, you can make your profile private and allow only your friends to see what kind of mood you’re in today, but that doesn’t mean that your private information isn’t still stored somewhere within the sites database.

Identity theft and Fraud: Costly, Frightening and on the rise

Facebook has recently come under pressure after the details of 100million users were published on a website – the hacker responsible claimed he was aiming to highlight the security flaws of the social media site. Today’s society means that more data than ever is being stored on computers and the internet; from addresses to online banking log in details, we are trusting technology with a frightening amount of information.
Whilst most websites are secure there is always the danger of our information getting into the wrong hands and leading to more serious problems than just an increase of junk mail. Identity theft and fraud are growing issues facing both businesses and individuals all over the world and costing tax payers up to $4 billion a year in Australia alone. According to stopidtheft.com, your D.O.B, address, mother’s maiden name and passwords are now “as valuable as money” – that’s all a fraudster needs to open credit cards and apply for loans.

Are we throwing away our data when we dispose of our computers?

As a computer recycling company, a common concern amongest our customers is what will happen to data stored on computers once we collect them. And rightly so. When users input their details on the internet, the information is automatically stored on their computers – bank log in details, passwords, addresses etc. For businesses this is an even bigger worry, as they input other people’s private information. We have been warned for years now to make sure we shred our bank statements and utility bills before throwing them out with the trash, but how much emphasis is placed on data destruction before we dispose of our obsolete computers? You wouldn’t put your bank statement on the street in the hope that someone collects it, but it’s becoming more and more common to see outdated computers left on the kerb for the same reason.
