A compound and method for rendering a hard disk drive 10 (1), forensically unrecoverable includes a solution comprising cerium ammonium nitrate, hydrochloric acid by mass, and water. When applied to the surface of a platter (18), the compound sufficiently disrupts or currupts the platter (18) such that not recovering the information previously stored on the platter (18) is not possible using known data recovery techniques. |
