Destroying data is never a solution.

  That's certainly not true, but in any case, I don't think Larry was suggesting you shouldn't take a backup first. :)

  You got downvoted by several people because what you say is not related to the person you answered to. Typically when a breach-in happens you do two things: 1. backup the entire disks for forensics purposes 2. wipe everything clean, re-install the latest version of the OS + all the latest patches, re-install the latest version of the apps. Nowhere did parent suggest to "destroy evidence".

    Not that this guy said "evidence" either ("data" was the word), but otherwise I agree
