Data Theft from Discarded Devices: How File Erasure Could Have Helped

Improper data deletion from electronic devices before selling or discarding makes them vulnerable to data theft.
Deleting files on a computer does not erase the actual data, leaving it recoverable through data recovery software.
Corporations and government agencies have also faced data theft due to improper disposal of devices.
Real-life examples include a UK bank's data theft scandal, a stolen medical laptop with patient data, and military computers sold with sensitive data.
File erasure software, like Stellar File Eraser, could have prevented these data breaches by permanently wiping data from hard drives.

Stellar File Eraser securely deletes all traces of online activity, deleted files, application data, and system traces, protecting user privacy.
It works with hard drives, solid-state drives, USB external drives, and flash drives, making it a comprehensive data erasure solution.
By investing in advanced file erasing software like Stellar, users can protect sensitive information and prevent identity theft across Windows devices.
