Amazon caves in to all the user and media pressure
Amazon has announced it will be restoring support for full-disk encryption to its mobile devices running Fire OS after the company was criticized from all sides this past weekend.
The entire scandal started after a user received a delayed update to Fire OS 5 for his Amazon device. The user read the changelog and discovered that the new Fire OS 5 version had removed support for full-disk encryption.
The user then took a screenshot and posted it on Twitter, from where the tweet took off and became viral, starting a barrage of anti-Amazon rants from various users who accused the company of siding with the government in the FBI vs. Apple encryption debate.
Amazon tried to explain that it removed support for encryption last September and that it did it for a valid reason, saying that users weren't using it.
Unfortunately, the timing of this media scandal couldn't have been worst, and now, to avoid more damage to the Amazon brand, the company has announced it plans to bring back support for full-disk encryption.
Amazon hasn't provided an exact date, but it has said the update will be delivered sometime this spring.
The immense backlash the company has received shows exactly why many have sided with Apple in the FBiOS scandal, and why, despite its best intentions, the FBI can't win this fight no matter how much it tries, the public opinion being always against it.

File Shredder Tool v1.0 |

NoVirusThanks File Shredder Tool is a simple Windows OS software application that can permanently delete files from your hard drive so that no one can recover them with file recovery software. As you know the Windows native “Delete” operation doesn’t permanently delete files, in fact most of the files deleted via the recycle bin can be easily recovered. File Shredder Tool has been created to completely remove sensitive data and company files from your hard drive in a fast and easy way.
File Shredder Tool uses different shredding algorithms to ensure permanent file deletion, it supports a single pass, 3 passes (DoD), 7 passes (DoD) and 35 passes (Gutmann). Obviously if you use the 35 passes it will take some time to completely delete a big file, but it is the most powerful method. Before deleting the file, the file is renamed to a random file name, making it impossible to even know the name of a deleted file. Don’t worry about NTFS MFT traces, since the program randomly renames the file before the deletion, no relevant file info are stored on there.
The interface is very user friendly, just select files or folders you want to permanently delete and click the button “Delete”. The program supports “drag & drop” for files and folders, and it can be integrated into the Windows Explorer context menu, so you can select multiple files and folders and easily shred them. It can permanently delete even big files of 4+ GB in size, keeping the CPU and memory usage at reasonable levels. Securely delete files with few clicks, the right way.
Key features and characteristics:
- Permanently erase sensitive data and company files
- Uses different powerful file shredding algorithms
- Securely overwrite files from 1 to 35 times
- Rename files with random names before the deletion
- Support “drag & drop” for files and folders
- Integrate with Windows Explorer context menu
- Support secure deletion of big files of 4+ GB in size
- Support all Microsoft Windows operating systems
- Very lightweight in memory and CPU usage
OS: Windows ALL (32-64 Bits)
