Office Memo 24 — Sex, Spies and Hard-drives

8 November 2006
According to data recovery specialists, Disklabs, out of 1,000 hard-drives it examined over the course of a year, 700 contained pornographic material. Also, the company recently bought a selection of storage media comprising 100 hard-disk drives and 50 memory cards. Processing a sample batch showed that documents such as accounting spreadsheets (including names and mobile phone numbers) and curricula vitae were easily accessible.
