Erase All confidential data with file eraser software
Last year, a highly placed biotechnology expert had to shift owing to her husband's transfer. She sold the stuff including the furniture, electronic, etc. Working on a highly confidential project, she transferred all the data from her computer on her pen drive, before selling it. One of her old buddies, but now rival had bought it. She had been surprised, but forgot all about it, while concentrating on shifting and all. Two weeks later, when she was planning to return to her project, she read an astonishing news about the break-through in the very field she had been working on. But on going through the whole of it, she found that it was published from her research. And on finding out about the biotechnologist, she found the name of her rival, who had bought her hard disk drive.
Unable to digest it, she decided to contact various departments to find out the cause of it. But didn't get any lead. In the evening, when her husband asked her about her reasons of worry, she gave words to her worries. It was then that she learnt that hard drive format is not drive wipe. The data had been recovered by her rival and published under her name. She fought a case, and emerged a winner. But learnt that data recovery was possible after formatting the drive.
After the entire episode, she did a complete research on hard drive wipe, and how it can recover data. She did a lot of market research to find out about the best tool for such a job, so that next time she wouldn't make the same mistake. After the research, she zeroed in on a highly user-friendly software for wiping her data.
