Idaho utility hard drives -- and data -- turn up on eBay
May 11, 2006Sharon Fisher Today’s Top Stoy
Idaho Power had recycled approximately 230 SCSI drives -- a year’s worth of updates -- through a single salvage vendor, Grant Korth, which then sold 84 of the drives to 12 parties through eBay. The company recovered 146 of the drives from the vendor. It also got assurances from 10 of the 12 parties that bought them on eBay that the drives would be returned or the data on them would not be saved or distributed.
