Wondering why Austalia is awash in counterfeit drivers licenses, all of a sudden? (They aren't, but it is not a bad opening line.) Well, it might have something to do with this story from a penny-wise hardware hacker who bought some ultra-cheap hardware at a govenment auction, and found that the Motor Vehicles division hadn't bothered to wipe any of their data or software. Among the other stuff he found were records of tickets issued to motorists with lots of those little bits of information which would make identity theft so easy.
Remember friends, be sure to WIPE your hard drives before selling them... or at least sell to someone you know or trust lacks the technical softistication to steal your data!
