E-WASTE is generally an issue for the whole world to put up with. It leaks personal information to people that really shouldn't be leaked. Personal information such as credit cards, adresses, important acounts and bills and payments become accessible to any person where E-WASTE is dumped.
Many Asian countries have access to all the information in the world through E-WASTE, with their own technological advances on us they could easily take control of the whole electronic Earth. With access to all credit card information it makes it easy to scam them and use their numbers and duplicate cards at stores, making you pay their huge credit bill. With your personal information it makes it easier to get into your credit card and also would give them access to any money source you have of you own. Furthermore they could also completely become you, by using your information for ID's, Birth Certificates, Credit and Bank Cards, and all of the other things that could completely ruin your life.
Why do they have this information? They have all of this information because people bring their computers without wiping them to be thrown out. Also computer companies generally don't take the time to wipe computers when they are sent back, causing the previous owner of the computer to leak information to people who shouldn't have it.
The main importer of E-WASTE is North America, creating tonnes and tonnes of E-WASTE and dumping it into countries like Accra, China, and Ghana.
