How are law enforcement agencies able to retrieve data off of a device or sim etc. that has been erased/deleted, yet we cannot retrieve our own lost data? Isn’t the point of erasing something to completely erase it…
In: Technology
You actually can recover it. You just need the right tools. It’s the digital equivalent of the pencil trick, looking for fragments of data that may not have fully gone away, references in other files, etc that may help you rebuild a file partially. The way to fully make it gone is to write over it, with new files.
