By: www.seo2marketing.com ‘Although this was in the United States and we in Australia think this sort of thing doesn’t affect us, this is a very common practise in most parts of the world’ says Stuart Boyd, owner of Advance Security Destruction. ‘And we the public have to be aware that this sort of thing happens in Australia as well, where certain departments of the government auction off or sell used office equipment and computers to please a budget. We are not saying that government agencies in Australia have breaches as extreme as this but we do advise that any company wishing to sell or auction off computers containing information that could harm the public should consult with an information security company before doing so’.
