Your Computer May Be Harming Others and You Don’t Even Know It

Some time before I wrote a couple of articles about computers being used to help terrorists and being used to do bad things. I thought it might be a good time to bring up the subject of your computer being used to do bad things and you not even knowing about it again.

The way a conventional (not an SSD) hard drive works is using silicon platters inside of a casing. Information is written in a linear fashion.
