Can you point to an actual instance you know of where this has happened? I
don't mean that in an aggressive or challenging way, I'm sincerely interested
after reading that rebuttal of Guttman's paper. I've also always subscribed
to the "complete destruction" idea.
I'm sorry, I can't point to any particular instance. I know a lot of
people don't believe it and think it is all "black helicopter" stuff et al.
I am also not saying it's any one particular gov't TLA nor which
nation(s)'s intelligence organization.
I don't mean recovery of data where someone accidentally issued a "del" or
"rm" command and the file is pieced back together, or recovery of some data
after filesystem corruption, etc. I'm wondering if someone has truly
recovered data from a drive where every single bit of data has been
overwritten with zeroes/random data/whatever.
