Cincinnati, Ohio -- 18 September 2007.
On Feb 2007 the VA loss sensitive information on 1.3 million doctors on a stolen hard drive. On May 2006 surplus computer equipment was stolen putting 26.5 Million Vets in danger of identity theft.
Recognizing the risks posed by unauthorized data disclosure on surplus computer systems to corporations, their consumers, and governments, ABAC Computer Inc. dba PC Warehouse & Supplies, an established Cincinnati area Computer Services and Hardware Vendor has began distribution of EDR Solution's HDC Model Hard Drive Crusher.

the device has been purchased by the CIA, NSA, and several Universities, Banks, and Insurance firms. The device is used to destroy surplus and salvage computer hard drives making it impossible to recover data from them. Incidents within the State of Ohio involving highly sensitive data being discovered on the hard drives of surplus computers discarded by various institutions alerted the company to the risks in current models of computer disposal, and the market need for such a device.

Firm Manager, Kamal J. Southall, states : “There is a lack of awareness that current technology makes it possible to recover highly sensitive information even from hard drives that have been erased hundreds of times.” Major financial and State Government institutions are faced with disposing of surplus Computer in environmentally sound ways but often do not realize that magnetic degauss erasing and “secure deletion” are not absolutely secure ways of destroying data on their disposed machines. Mr. Southall further states “We were quite excited when we discovered EDR's rugged machine, recognizing the potential demand in our international markets for a safe, secure, way of properly disposing of old obsolete hard drives.”

While a small firm, PC Warehouse & Supplies is highly familiar with International logistics and is currently marketing the device not only to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana area businesses and institutions, but also to the International Embassy sector.
