A Kansas family noticed that the shipping materials used by a Texas company were composed of shredded personal checks. The family was able to tape the shards back together, revealing numerous account numbers. The company says they’ve been using shredded checks as packing material for years…yikes.

Makes me wonder how good my personal shredder really is. Like all forms of security, they are not fool proof. They simply make it difficult enough that the cost is too high - until the next breakthrough. It is a constant cat and mouse game.
I work in an environment where all paper must be shredded before it can leave the site. I believe it is then collected by a bonded vendor but I don’t know how they dispose of it. This seems to make the security guys happy - for now.
