Some days ago Avast gave us some shocking news, they called on the security of android factory reset. They went on by saying the android phone data could be recovered even when you had set it to factory reset. They had proof and insisted on illustrating it. The company bought about 20 android phones online (eBay). Each phone had been wiped out all data through reset feature. This meant that the data should not or could not be recovered but that was not the case.
To recover the data they used a forensic software, FTK imager. It should be noted that this is not a rare software. It is one you and I can easily access, making it even scarier. They were able to recover 40,000 photos, old google search queries, emails and texts. Some of these data were not meant to been seen by anyone else except the owner because some were nude photos and selfies.
