Security device for sensitive data

A security device for protecting stored sensitive data comprising:

• a closed housing containing memory means adapted to store sensitive data and including atop plate, a base plate and a plurality of side plates having conducted path segments formed in meandering configurations over substantially the entire inner surface areas of the respective parts;
• interconnection means arranged to electrically interconnect said conductive path segments to form conductive path means, the interruption of which, brought about by an attempt to penetrate said housing, causes the erasure of the contents of said memory means;
• and
• a printed circuit board on which said memory means is supported, wherein said side plates are mounted on the top surface of said printed circuit board which is mounted on said base plate, and wherein said interconnection means includes conductive track means provided on said printed circuit board and conductive wires extending from said top plate through electrically conductive apertures in said printed circuit board to thereby directly connect with a part of said conductive track means on said printed circuited board.
