The Shredders You Should Be Choosing From
Working from home can make you more vulnerable to identity thieves and hackers. Be sure to shred sensitive business files before tossing them into the trash.
· Shred files with corporate or customer names, phone numbers or banking info.
· Use a micro-cut shredder for the best security; anything larger can be pieced back together more easily.
· Ask your employer if they’ll help with the purchase of a home unit. Or, if you have a home-based business, you may be able to write off the purchase of a shredder.
