Vandalism: A major cause of data loss
Vandalism is one of the common procedures observed at any workplace. In general terms, it refers to the conspicuous defacement or destruction of structure, a symbol or anything which could go against the will of owner or governing authority.
At workplaces where whole of the important work is done and saved on computers, vandalism refers to erasing data from the computer systems intentionally by anyone. This happens mostly in those cases where an employee is fired and then he/she destroys all the relevant data from the computer system before the access is revoked, in order to fulfill his/her desire to take revenge from the authority. Sometimes the harm caused doesn’t remain limited to deletion of files, that could be physical harm also like damaging the hard drive by any of the means like making a large impact on it or water or fire etc.
Generally the data erased plays an important role in the working of affected enterprise and if the damage done is at peak level then it could badly affect the scenario of that enterprise. So after the employee left, it becomes the top most priority to them to recreate or recover back those important files, folders, documents, reports etc. a soon as possible so that further work can be done.
Backing up the data regularly is a good practice followed by the users, which helps them to recover from these conditions. But if the fired employee has damaged those files also or backup has not been done for those damaged or deleted files, then it can be a cause of a big disaster which in few cases can destroy whole of the enterprise.
