Why Should Residents Care About Data Destruction?
Identity theft and personal data breaches are constantly on the rise. Around 33% of US citizens have been victims of identity theft in their lives. That’s more than double the global average. In addition, the FTC reports the average cost per victim for all identity theft in 2023 was $4,800.
Your old devices hold a ton of personal information that is extremely valuable to thieves, including banking information, passwords, any confidential notes, pictures, and more. Trading in, donating, or selling your old devices leaves you unsure where exactly they are going. Your devices in the wrong hands can lead to devastating expenses and possibly even reputational damage. Secure data destruction services help residential customers protect their data from identity theft and personal data breaches.
