An alarming study by a world data recovery leader Kroll Ontrack, revealed that sensitive information found on cell phones and hard drives is not being disposed of correctly.

Why is this the Case?

While many residents and organizations (53%) are under the impression that deleting or moving files to the “trash bin” is enough to eliminate data, the opposite is quite true. Deleting information doesn’t mean that it has been permanently removed from your cell phone or computer, which is cause for concern as computer systems and cell phones are being updated all the time.

As Kroll Ontrack explains their experiment in testing whether or not wiped information was still retrievable, you may be surprised to learn the findings in this short video, How Supposedly Deleted Personal Data Can Come Back to Haunt You.
