Hi debathena team,
We sent a machine that looked like the following to e-waste as part of
the last cleanout (it was one of the old machines that had been placed
in the junk pile at the top of the ramp):
As part of that, we made sure to remove the hard drives (as we did for
other junk servers) with the intention of securely shredding them.
Specifically, we recovered two 500 GB disks. However, we're now thinking
that debuild, as a (presumed) build server, might not actually have
actually had any sensitive user data on it, which might mean that secure
shredding is unnecessary in this case.
Could you confirm whether or not debuild had any sensitive user data on
it? If not, do you have any objections to the drives being wiped and
reused within the SMR for other SIPB services?
Thanks,
Cel Skeggs
