Securely erase your data????

Hello there!

This advice was previously deleted by the bot moderator because I didn't have the 500 comment karmas required. LoL!

It should work now.

In a world where crypto adoption grows every day, and with it related thefts unfortunately, it's imperative that we all learn to step up our security measures!

Before you go and sell any of your devices make sure all your sensitive data have been wiped completely.

Standard factory settings resets may not be enough. Individuals with malicious intentions may still be able to recover your sensitive information by using special tools.

So, make sure you do some research in relation to your specific case before you hand your device to someone else.

In the meantime, here are some articles on this topic that you may find useful:
