Refurbished iPhones are a real danger to users privacy
Posted in: General News | May 21st, 2008
Everybody knows that unsecure delete doesn’t work. With basic tools and knowledge of data recovery you can revive to “live” any user information that hasn’t been overwritten.
It seems that an Oregon State Police detective did just that, bought a refurbished iPhone from eBay and recovered all private and sensitive data from the previous user.
This should be a lesson to users and Apple too. Apple still needs to upgrade all iPhones to a more secure software and delete method.
