Actually I am. This is hillarious. Every professional data and document destruction firm I know offers on side destruction of sensitive drives and documents. You don't even have to trust them, you can watch the process.
Yeah, best most companies do is basic RFID passes. But those can be cloned or you could finesse yourself into the building wearing one of the contractor firm uniforms you bought off Facebook marketplace.
As someone educated in security, yup. You can completely secure a facility, at the cost of making it nearly unusable. It's always a balance between making it accessible enough to function and secure enough for the function of the facility. Here they very obviously went way, way, way too far in the direction of easy of access and making the job as easy and convenient as possible, to the point that it undermined the entire point of the facility.
Why not destroy the storage devices at the source? The transportation itself seems a security nightmare. Like just have a room with equipment and train people. Destroying stuff doesn't require too much expertise.
@@matt_milacksome disc sectors would stay intact, plus more maintenance. Get a shredder, hire out someone to come repair it once no intact drives are there.
There is the 'Rack's Mobile Data Destruction System,' with which anyone can securely destroy data carriers after just one hour of training. The device is about the size of a bathroom cabinet and gets the job done.
It's why they don't tend to rattle me. The problem with governmental conspiracy theories is the assumption that governments are smart enough to do any of this. And if the FBI fails basic physical security, I'm pretty sure they're not controlling the world from behind the scenes. Almost kind of reassuring, that.
Hitman players would be like "okay but the public-facing government being utter morons actually makes it _easier_ for a shadow organization like Providence to exist".

I work at a USG facility and we destroy our hard drives on-site. To spread out the workload, individual equipment managers are responsible for their own inventory. It's easy--I remove the drives, cycle them through a degaussing machine, and then crush them. Every computer I turn in has a sticker on it certifying that the HDD has been removed. I don't even deal with classified data drives--we do this just for CUI/FOUO data on "office drone" computers. Lol my little work center has better data security than the FBI! Perhaps they are too short-staffed to handle this simple chore because they are busy spying on churches and unhappy parents at PTA meetings.
Even if you’re paranoid then there’s always someone around that’s not …or something that you don’t know… and there’s no such thing as 50% of unhackable…
It depends... People who are paranoid, aren't always the people who know what they're doing. If someone buys backdoor-ed security tools, then he's worse off.

There is Companies Dedicated to doing Data Destruction. I am former Shred It driver and any of those one things would of caused a 30 day shut down of the plant and a deep investigation. Someone would be terminated. Look up Shred It and how they do there destruction. When I picked up hard drives I scanned them in threw the Drives Serial number and placed them in a locked tote and on my truck at the end of the day I handed them off to a warehouse employee who destroyed them with in 24 hours. The drives never left there locked tote untill they where fed into the machine. what there doing is all wrong and that department head should be fired.
They have a long history of "destroying" firearms in the same way. That's a deep rabbit hole you should jump into as well, lots of looking the other way and nothing being done about it
The most effective way to destroy the data is to encrypt the drive and throw out the key when it's not needed anymore. I wonder why such agencies don't do that and trust some shady third party to handle their data in plain form.
I'd imagine it's either because any encryption that might be used already has known backdoors, or because of preparation for quantum computing being able to crack encryption standards used currently. I remember there was that one guy who had a drive with a bunch of bitcoin he forgot the password for and a company was able to bypass the encryption after some work, so imagine the options for our defense agencies where losing trillions over years means nothing to them.
@@Crazyboutpeace I doubt there are known backdoors in every encryption method out there. It's probably more-so worries about quantum computing, how easy it is to bypass if you don't do it correctly, and how easy it is to copy cryptographic keys. It's just safer to physically break the drive - if they were actually doing it.
@@Crazyboutpeace I see your point but I would disagree. 1. Symmetric encryption schemes like AES or ChaCha20 are not affected by quantum computers, that applies to something entirely different 2. I don't think they're backdoors in every encryption scheme on earth. Disk encryption software like Luks or Veracrypt support a lot of different encryption algorithms so even if you don't trust AES, you could use Serpent or ChaCha20 3. The bitcoin case was probably just brute-forcing the password. Breaking the disk encryption would make every computer using it would be compromised so all computers with encrypted drives would need to be migrated. If you're using strong key, it wouldn't be bruteforcable.
The most effective way to destroy the data would be to destroy the drive itself. You only encrypt then reformat if you want to have it usable afterwards.
I drilled a hole in a failed server nvme before I gave it back to the tech under warranty, they weren't happy but I insisted. My manager said I shouldn't do it again, he was clueless. Dell were cool with it but surprised.
I contrast this data destruction security with what I observed on a US military base in the 1980s: Paper classified documents were taken to a dedicated small building on the base, and fed via conveyor belt into an industrial shredder so loud you needed ear protection. If you tried to lay the documents on too thick, the conveyor belt would stop for about 20 seconds. The result was a fluffy paper & ink dust which was bagged. I don't know what became of the bagged dust.
Now imagine how the IT Recycling is handled at the Ramstein Airbase in Europe - I have seen so many drilled through RAM modules, getting logged into some intranet after booting up doesnt even feel special next to that 'confidential' asset tag
This FBI fail reminds me of the Caldwell Parish, Louisiana sheriff's department and their less-than-ideal security practices. From 2016 when the current sheriff took over, to November 2021, over half a million dollars was embezzled from the SO's fines and fees account. Investigation revealed the sheriff allowed deputies to cash their personal checks out of the fines&fees drawer (which no cameras were watching), only one employee was responsible for handling all of the dept's finances and nobody (not even the sheriff) ever checked behind or audited her, and financial record-keeping was atrocious at best. They often did not issue receipts when someone paid a fine or civil fee with cash, and pocketed the cash instead of putting it in the department's fines&fees bank account. They also didn't report those cash payments to the prosecutor's office (so the prosecutor would drop the court date and mark the case as closed), resulting in people being arrested for Failure To Appear. On top of all that, the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's office somehow missed all of those discrepancies in their yearly audits from 16 to 21. I also have a police scanner recording of a deputy (who's now a detective/investigator...) admitting over the police radio that he doesn't log fuel purchases charged to the department's credit card. Apparently they're still untrustworthy because they're now barred from accepting cash payments for fines or civil fees.
Is this how the infamous Kaspersky ordeal went down? A contractor just strolled in one day, yoinked a drive that had malware on it, and the NSA bitched and moaned?
Meanwhile A HDD shredder the same size as a decent photocopier is 6k…. The company taking and storing the HDD’s, deserves massive fines. They have an obligation to do their job, ESPECIALLY if it’s sensitive data. Why are they effectively storing them not shredding them….
Presumably SSD destruction can be done with noise wipes in software? The idea of sending everything sensitive to the same place seems poorly thought out.
