It'll be a nice study to cite when trying to convince friends that (a) they must use full disk encryption/have a good backup strategy; (b) it is a good idea to do a factory reset before sending in a device for repair (if applicable); and (c) it can make sense to discard device rather give up its PIN/etc.
- heavyset_go 4y agoAn addendum to (b) is that a factory reset sometimes isn't enough, considering it's still possible to image a drive after file deletion or formatting to recover "deleted" data.
- madars 4y agoOh, absolutely! We should always combine (a) and (b) so that factory reset is implemented as wiping of the keyslots.
