Why is the default for shred 4 passes !!

by frank · January 23, 2015

I have no idea why the default for shred is 4 passes... why isn't only one pass needed !? I fail to see the the use-case. Unless somebody is spying on the random seed while I am shredding it, I don't see how someone can recover from a single-pass + zero.
