Your not wrong. It is possible to recover just about any data through a microscopic examination of the disk platters. But from what I understand about the process it is very expensive and time consuming though. But even if you did 1000 overwrites the data could still be recovered this way.
I wouldn't worry too much about someone trying to recover your data, unless......... you are really a undercover secret agent working for the CIA and you recently discovered some above top secret information, that you store on your hard drive, and you need to get into the hands of the proper authorities.
This information could of course save the universe from certain doom. And at every turn your enemies are trying to stop you, who also want to acquire this valuable information from your computer, which they could use to gain great power and rule the universe with.   |
