Headline : Tesco Hudl and other Android devices face data reset flaw.
"Hiding data by using a factory reset option does little to delete potentially sensitive information, suggest researchers.
Three separate investigations of Android's data deleting systems found it was possible to recover information.
In some cases, a reset just removed the list of where data was stored and deleted nothing else.
In particular, Tesco's Hudl tablet was found to have a flaw that let attackers get at data saved to onboard memory."
My thoughts :
I just wanted to give a heads up on this information.
Personally if i bought a used tablet or phone I wouldn't even contemplate trying to recover data, but that's me.
