| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | People rely on storing and processing their data and information on hard disks in this technological age. This research investigated whether the hard disks sold in the second-hand market had been completely erased or not and whether the disks contained readable data. The research further analyzed if data retrieved were remaining information belonging to previous owners. The disks that contained remaining information were identified. The results of the study were compared with the results from studies conducted abroad in order to explore any shared trends or differences. It was revealed that Thailand's results were in line with other countries from earlier studies. The findings presented that the majority of used HDD in Thailand still contained remaining information data that was not properly sanitized by previous owners, and some of the data belonged to international entities. The research concluded that it was very important to have greater awareness of the risks of incomplete data erasure on second-hand disks. |
