Seeing the popularity of the issue of emergency destruction of devices, I would like to tell you about the emergency destruction of mobile phones and tablets. So, we have: a hacker, an insistent knock on the door, people in masks in the peephole of the door. To be honest, usually hackers have calls in their apartments, and there will be a neighbor in the peephole who will be asked to help, but we are interested in the reaction of a hacker who urgently needs to destroy his mobile phone.
Probably the first option that comes to mind is to throw the phone out of the window, but this technique is known, and it works poorly. Here is a video of a hacker who did this, but with a computer and flash drives, and, as you can see, it did not help him.
Another option that immediately comes to mind is to flush the devices down the drain. This is usually done with money, but hardly any smartphone can be flushed down the toilet, let alone a tablet.
I also don't consider breaking with a hammer. Modern smartphones are well protected from shocks, so with a high probability of a small home hammer, you will not only not damage the disk, but will not even disable the phone.
Acid may also not lead to the result, if we are talking about a good smartphone. Here is a video that clearly demonstrates how difficult it can be to destroy a smartphone in acid.
Emergency data destruction systems
I will tell you about three effective methods of destruction. The first method is electromagnetic complexes for data destruction. Here's what they look like:
when uninvited guests visit, external hard drives, flash drives, tablet and phone are placed in this box. The mailbox closes, the activation button is pressed, then a beep sounds and that's it. Devices no longer contain any information, and now a hacker can go to open the door before it is damaged with a crowbar or grinder.
Here is a video demonstration of how such a system works.
This video destroys your computer's hard drive, but believe me, it doesn't make any difference whether you destroy your computer's hard drive or your phone. The only thing is that destruction systems of this form, as in the video, are not suitable for emergency destruction of the tablet, for this you need a device like the "Case" shown in the image above.
And this is how the "Impulse" system works.
among the disadvantages that you should pay attention to is the price of such devices, reaching up to $ 1,000, and the need for annual technical inspection. The main advantage is reliable data destruction. For many devices, the manufacturer gives a one-hundred-percent guarantee that the information on the media cannot be restored.
Discharge via USB
Electromagnetic data destruction systems are not the only solution for disabling a mobile device. On AliExpress, they sell devices designed to destroy mobile devices by electric discharge.
After using such a device, it will be almost impossible to visually determine the cause of phone failure, unlike other methods of disabling it, such as immersion in water. In addition, modern smartphones have a waterproof case is not uncommon, so bathing may not give any result.
It is important to understand that although the device is disabled, the data on the internal and external memory is not affected and can be extracted by specialists. From my point of view, this device is more like a beautiful toy than a tool for effective destruction.
Microwave oven
In fact, almost all of us have an effective system for destroying mobile devices and tablets – this is a microwave oven. While this isn't a cheap or secure method, it works quickly and flawlessly.
Imagine a situation: a hacker, realizing that his apartment is being broken into, and this is not Santa Claus with gifts at all, remembers that valuable information is placed in the mobile phone, and it will certainly become evidence against him.
He runs to the kitchen, throws his phone in the microwave, and turns it on for 60 seconds and maximum power. High-frequency pulses will cause almost all chips to burn out in just a few seconds, and the phone will become unusable.
But what will happen to the information on the device, you can't say for sure, here's how lucky you will be. On the Internet, they write that when the device is held for a long time, it burns out along with the storage media. But trusting the Internet isn't exactly the right approach, and I don't have an extra microwave oven for the experiment.
But there is a video showing what happens with the phone in the microwave.
I can't estimate the risk of fire and complete burning out of the phone. the video shows that the phone really ignites; however, the amount of oxygen needed for burning in the microwave is most likely limited, and the flame will eventually go out.
In addition to the fire, do not forget about the presence of a battery in the phone. Modern lithium-ion batteries of mobile devices contain the toxic element lithium, which has a particularly serious effect on the human nervous system and kidneys. And, of course, the battery can explode. The only thing that can console a hacker is that it will most likely no longer be him who gets poisoned and explodes.
