Has the technology leapt such an incredibly humongous distance that deleting text messages from one’s cell phones can actually cover all the lost tracks? A New York company claims to have marketed a product – also called ‘little gem’ that can recuperate the lost, or the deleted, data from cell phones and read it on PCs. However, this scoop of ‘advanced’ technology is amiable to a few selected cell phones, but not all. Todd Morris, the president of the BrickHouse Security – the company asserting the product’s release – claims to sell a small, portable SIM card reader that can retrieve deleted messages. The user can remove the SIM card, put it in the $150 device and plug the reader into a USB port. All the data automatically gets transferred into the computer memory. The company claims that its reader is perhaps, the only one that can track down deleted messages.
The data extractor comes with Recovery PRO software and works with any standard removable SIM card.
As for the concerns towards securing privacy and legalities, it does prove to vandalize the issue; however, the company claims that the product is for those parents who want to keep a check on their children, or higher authorities’ skepticism over their employees. Moreover, using it to investigate what data a stranger holds on their SIM cards is absolutely a legal course.
The device doesn’t work with phones that lack SIM cards, like those sold to Verizon customers, some Sprint 2-way phones, and some prepaid phones.
