Data Breach Season Is Here—Is Your Old Tech a Liability?

Before hackers get to your hard drives, make May the month you wipe the slate clean—with Ship-n-Destroy.


While most of us are focused on summer plans, cybercriminals are focused on something else: unprotected data. According to multiple breach reports released this spring, 2025 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for cybercrime.

Why your old electronics are still a risk:

  1. Retired Devices Still Hold Data
    Laptops, phones, backup drives—if they’ve ever stored sensitive info, they’re still a threat. Simply tossing them in a drawer doesn’t erase liability.
  2. Hybrid Work = Decentralized Devices
    Businesses are still adjusting to remote/hybrid models. That means devices are scattered—and so is your risk. Ship-n-Destroy brings secure destruction straight to your doorstep.
  3. Compliance Doesn’t Take Vacations
    PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GLBA—whatever alphabet soup you follow, proper destruction of electronic media is a legal must. Our Premium Service ensures chain-of-custody and documented compliance. We offer a hard dive/solid state drive serial number report to the certificate of destruction in the SND blog as that’s part of the NAID process for these items. 
  4. Spring Is the Season for Security Audits
    Many IT departments conduct mid-year checkups in May. Now’s the time to get rid of drives you no longer use and wipe out data before it gets breached.

How It Works:
Just fill out our online form, receive your secure tote kit, lock it, and ship it. We destroy your data at our secure Vermont plant and send you a certificate of destruction complete with the hard drive/solid state drive serial number report.  It’s simple, secure, and scalable.

Don’t wait for a breach to make the news—destroy data before it destroys you.
