Explanation:
Dumpster diving is a very common physical access method. Companies generate a huge amount
of paper in the normal course of events. Most of the information eventually winds up in dumpsters
or recycle bins. These dumpsters may contain information that is highly sensitive in nature. In high
security government environments, sensitive papers are either shredded or burned. Most
businesses do not do this.
