It is important that when an IT asset is disposed of, all sensitive information is destroyed for obvious purposes. However, there are times when an error may occur due to negligence leaking critical data in the process.
One such incident occurred a few days ago when a German military laptop was sold on eBay for just €90 inclusive of the shipping cost. Purchased by a firm named G Data which specializes in cybersecurity, they reported the entire incident in a company blog post on 16 March.
