Data Grim Reaper: The Truth About Securely Wiping Your Digital Life | HackerNoon

Imagine this: On an online marketplace, you recently sold your old laptop to a total stranger called 'GeekWizard99.' Decluttering and having more money in your pocket make you feel fantastic about the transaction. But hold on, did you really remember to erase those fanfiction drafts you wrote at three in the morning or those financial spreadsheets called 'Secret Millionaire Plan'? Plot twist: pressing 'delete' tells your computer, 'Hey, I don't need to SEE these files anymore, but definitely keep them around for someone more tech-savvy to find later!' It's similar to being awful at hiding in a game of digital hide-and-seek.
