DataKiller Instantly Obliterates Data on Magnetic Media

I wonder if the cabal will be buying these by the carload?  I hope the FBI clones those hard drives at JP Morgan!   This will make forensic reconstruction of hard drive data impossible.

Will some hero use this on the credit bureau records and those huge personal information databases private corporations and government have on US Citizens?

It makes a satisfying pop sound.

Via: Engadget:

Platform of Japan demonstrated the information obliterating devices at the Information Security Expo. A large powerful magnet realigns the bits on the surface of the drive’s platters eliminating all trace of the data that existed before, without physically damaging the hardware.

With just the push of a button a Data Killer can wipe practically any magnetic media, including tapes or an aging floppy disk. The data disposals even come in different sizes, allowing you to kill just a single 3.5-inch disk or up to 14 at a time. The larger models can even accept an intact laptop.
