A team of researchers from Cambridge University reveals that in 80% of tested devices was possible to recover data judged as lost.
Make a ‘reset’ the smartphone to reset factory settings should cause all user data to be deleted but that’s not what happens according to an investigation by researchers at Cambridge University.
We tested 21 different devices with operating systems between Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and it was found that in 80% of cases it was possible to rescue the personal data made after the ‘reset’, which includes contacts, images, videos, music, etc. .
As pointed out by the Tek, it may have a fault in the privacy security of users since, with the right method, anyone can manage to get data that is judged deleted.
