Everywhere". This study is concerned with the question of whether users

data carriers are either sold individually, given away with the PC or are
returned to commercial leasing companies. For the study, 100 used hard disks
and other data carriers were purchased on the internet auction site eBay and
subsequently examined to see if data were present and restorable. The analysis
showed that only 10% of the hard disks had been properly and completely wiped
with the help of software products. The rest all contained private data in all
shapes and forms, from scanned signatures and ID cards to legal powers of
attorney, account access information and PIN and access code lists.
