Remove the cover. Remove the platters. Smash all platters with large sledge 
hammer until all pieces are fairly small. Melt material with oxyacetylene 
welders torch. Repeat smashing with hammer. Soak for few hours in 
hydrofluoric acid. Rinse and allow to dry. Grind material into a fine 
particulate dust. Dispose of out the back of airplane while flying or drop 
into convenient nearby volcano. That might be good enough.

Send the electronic components to Kaspersky for analysis.
