Dear Davide Del Vecchio, It's also possible to recover deleted photos from almost any flash card in almost any device (camera, mobile, etc) - it's a way general purpose file systems work. Requirement to delete information securely is enforced in devices certified to e.g. process US military secretes. In this case, device must follow DoD 5220-22-M recommendations and you can expect secure erase. In general purpose operation systems and devices, to delete information securely (wipe it) some additional actions/utilities are usually required. --Tuesday, May 15, 2007, 9:09:19 PM, you wrote to full-disclosure () lists grok org uk: DDV> Hello list, DDV> During some research, I found an intersting "feature" DDV> on my Nokia mobile phone; I was able to retrieve any DDV> apparently deleted sms/mms.
I completely agree with you. Infact the news is how EASY is it to recover sms/mms deleted without using any recovery tool (just using the PC Nokia Suite) and the aim of my post was to increase the perception of the privacy risk on the mobile devices. I hope that after this post, Nokia people will think about introducing more security features. Those actually are infact often reduced to just a 4 digit number (the PIN). I think the question is crucial and, I hope, finally clear. d. -- http://www.alighieri.org
