Please securely format and erase storage devices before handing\selling them to others

First of all, I’d like to apologize for not giving much attention in the last few days due to eid and all (Yes… Belated eidkom mubarak)… But I’ll try to work things out…

Now, this incident happened to someone who bought a Nikon camera from eBay…

A camera sold on auction on eBay for $30 with a memory card that had names of AL-Qaeda members, pictures of weapons and fingerprints of suspects (undeleted, or weakly deleted)…

Just imagine owning such memory card… Interesting =P

Notes to self:
*   ALWAYS REMEMBER TO ERASE ANY STORAGE DEVICE I’M GOING TO HAND TO OTHERS
*   ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DUMP WHATEVER STORAGE DEVICE I GET FROM OTHERS (Who knows, maybe I’ll find a treasure map =P)
