Recovering deleted text messages is not a simple task but may be possible if you have proper backups set in place early on. Many advertised software claims to get the deleted data, but few do. The best option will always be backups.

Backup systems can range fromGoogle Drive, iCloud, Carrier companys cloud to specific phone companys cloud storage.

Major carriers like Verizon and AT & T provide cloud backup storage for their users.

Tons of people use Verizon cloud backup. You may use the free contact-only Backup or have a storage plan in place. If you do, you can restore the text messaging content to the phone

Note: Messages and call logs cant be backed up from or restored to iOS devices

AT&T has its own AT&T messaging app, including AT&T message backup & Sync. To download messages stored in the AT&T cloud From AT&T Messages Backup & Sync, use the following steps:

This message backup only works for certain android devices. This process will not work on IOS.

Sim cards hold very little memory in them but do hold some messages. There is no guarantee that the exact deleted message you are looking for is present there, but its worth a shot.

We suggest always backing up your whole device in google drive. If you lose any messages or anything else, everything can be restored all at once. Trying to restore specifically would need a third-party app using the BackupBackup of google drive as storage.

Follow the steps below to restore the Backup fully:

There are plenty of videos in the media regarding deleted messages retrieval for Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp. Most of them suggest full profile data downloads and archive processes.

Please understand that these things will not work. Archives hide messages from inbox, and data downloads will give you the full profile data without the deleted data.

If you have only deleted the specific message for yourself, the recipient will still have the copy. If the message is deleted from everyone, you will not get it back.

The best way to backup facebook is to download your total Facebook data from Facebook and keep it stored safely, preferably in cloud drives.

You can view the contents via a browser or HTML viewers except for WhatsApp, where you can back up chats within the app itself.

The best way to make sure you dont lose your message or any file in the future is to back them up early on. The best method has to be Google for android and iCloud option for IOS. These cloud options provide free storage, and you can buy more if need be.

Google Drive is a cloud storage service that can be accessed anywhere provided you have the appropriate logins. The great thing about it is that you get to store files here; hence, back-ups can be set up here. Lets learn how to do it:

For Android

Note: the specific steps may vary according to the model of the devices, but the gist is the same.

For IOS

There are various cloud backups available for different phones. For Eg: Xiaomi offers Mi Cloud with free 5GB of storage, so backing up messages, logs, and important stuff wont be a problem.

Similarly, you get one drive as your cloud backup service for Samsung devices with Free 5 GB of storage. Companies have different setup systems for their cloud.

The general step is to check settings and find your phones accounts and Sync or phone account. There will most likely be an option to join their cloud.

You can back up your essentials for Apple phones that use IOS via iCloud.

There are plenty of third-party apps that backup your device for you. If you regularly back up with your clouds from google or your carrier companies or iClouds etc., these Backups may not be necessary.

You can try one of the options below; one of them will surely work on your device:

Recommended for Androids

Recommended for IOS

Once you choose the delete option for any kind of file in your phone, the file is allocated for being overwritten, meaning as new files are stored in the device, they will overwrite the older files that you thought you deleted. There is a chance of those files being restored until it is overwritten.

How To Recover Deleted Text Messages On Android And IPhone - Tech News Today

In the second quarter of 2021, American workers began resigning from their jobs at a historic rate. The Great Resignation, as its since been dubbed, has seen the U.S. set monthly records for the number of workers leaving their jobs three times this year. In September alone, 4.4 million workers resigned from their jobs. The same trend is being seen in the U.K., where resignations are at their highest level in 20 years.

For organizations with valuable intellectual property or personal identifiable information, these resignations represent a serious security threat. According to Code42, the three-month period between April and June 2021 that kicked off this wave of resignations coincided with a 61 per cent increase in data exposure events from the previous quarter.

Data exfiltration often rises alongside resignations because more employees are misappropriating data and theyre doing so around the time they resign. A Tessian study confirmed this, finding that 45 per cent of employees admit to downloading, saving or sending work data out of network before leaving their jobs.

Everything from customer lists to intellectual property is in danger of being exfiltrated and for a variety of reasons. It may be that employees feel entitled to the intellectual property they helped create. It may be that they want to jump start their work with a new company and that taking data, in their minds, is no crime. It may be that theyre disgruntled and looking to do harm by selling the data to a competitor. In the most extreme case, the employees in question may even be cybercriminals-for-hire who infiltrate enterprises with the sole purpose of causing harm.

Amid all these possibilities, it is no longer reasonable for organizations to risk leaving the protection of their most valuable data up to chance. Organizations with valuable intangible assets must consider performing digital forensic scans as part of their standard operating procedures when offboarding employees, to identify threat actors and the data theyre exfiltrating. Doing so would enable organizations to better manage the risk of insider activity and give them the means to recover critical data and in some instances even seek legal recourse.

Before organizations begin scanning for insider activity, they should update their standard business practices to reflect the new challenges presented by insiders. Many organizations only perform a standard review of devices belonging to outgoing employees after their departure. By then, its already too late. Collecting their devices early also isnt an option because it would slow productivity, tip off insiders and give them a window to act nefariously between the date their device is returned and their final day of employment.

To identify and eliminate insider activity, security teams must act weeks before the date employees are set to depart and perform digital forensic analyses using solutions that allow them to scan target endpoints remotely and covertly.

A digital investigation will often involve three steps: triage, a complete digital forensic analysis, and intervention, often led by human resources and legal teams.

By beginning with triaging, organizations can save time by quickly scanning for insider activity. This approach also balances the need for security measures with the privacy of employees as forensic analysts are not sifting through all their digital activity with the hopes of finding a smoking gun. Triage solutions can rapidly determine whether data has been exfiltrated from a target endpoint by scanning common threat vectors such as USB connection history, recently accessed folders, cloud storage and internet history and activity.

The same tools can be used to investigate unintentional data leakage incidents, such as an employee uploading work documents to a personal cloud storage account to continue a project from home or sending an email containing data to the wrong recipient. In the case of data exfiltration involving files copied to a USB drive, a triage solution will identify the date an insider took this action and the name of the files and folders that were exfiltrated. This gives analysts the leads they require to perform a deeper digital forensic analysis.

With a full digital forensic examination, an analyst can trace an insiders steps, create a timeline of their movement and determine exactly what data was exfiltrated. Analysts will begin by remotely and covertly connecting to the suspects computer as well as cloud-based sources such as Microsoft Office 365, Amazon Web Services, and Slack. Using the results of the triage as a guide, analysts can begin their investigation by targeting the date of exfiltration and the file itself. File and folder names can easily be changed to disguise the data within and so this data point alone wont prove any wrongdoing. During a full analysis, however, analysts can access the files and folders that were copied to USB drives and determine whether they have been altered in any way.

Confirming that an employee exfiltrated source code, customer lists or other valuable data isnt enough to complete an investigation. It could be that several weeks before their resignation, the employee in question researched how to conceal their activity from security teams and deployed anti-forensic software to cover their tracks. One week later, they may have downloaded the data onto their desktop. Before they exfiltrated the data to a USB drive, the insider may have emailed another copy to a non-company address or uploaded it to a personal cloud storage system. Each one of these data points is a piece of evidence that will help an analyst build a case.

Once the investigation is complete, organizations can use the results to move towards an appropriate resolution, ranging from a warning to early termination with cause and, in some situations, a lawsuit. Before HR and legal teams meet with the suspect, its important to remember that some employees dont realize that downloading confidential data and departing an organization with it is a crime.

Depending on the results of the investigation, organizations may wish to take a different course of action with these employees than with those who clearly tried to cover their tracks or were caught negotiating a sale of the data they stole and very clearly knew the gravity of their actions.

The last and perhaps most important step is to attempt to recover the lost data or damages from the insider event. The threat of legal action can be leveraged to request that an insider return the data and the reality is that a lawsuit may be required in some instances. This scenario is an important one to consider in cases where the data that was taken by an insider was highly confidential or the damages linked to their activity were high.

While digital forensic tools cannot recover the data that has been exfiltrated, they do facilitate the legal process, should it be required, because the evidence they collect has proven to be reliable in both civil and criminal court. This is because they collect evidence in a forensically sound and repeatable manner, while also upholding the chain of custody. The same evidence an analyst collected to warrant the insiders early termination is what legal teams could use to pursue legal action.

Assuming the worst about your employees is difficult but planning for it is part of being a thoughtful leader in the digital age. With employee data exfiltration rising rapidly alongside resignations, organizations must take a more thorough approach to risk management. By implementing digital forensics into their offboarding processes, organizations can fall back on another layer of security and ensure their most valuable assets arent being stolen out from underneath them.

When employees leave, is your data walking out the door? - Help Net Security

You can really do everything with a smartphone: write messages, read news, take photos and videos, watch movies, download and also music. No matter how limitless the pleasure is, the memory is not. These tips will help you if your smartphone or cell phone memory is full.

This tip wont solve your problem, but it will help you. Get an overview of what is primarily using memory photos, apps, or other media. This overview helps you follow the correct steps.

With Speicher its like cleaning your own four walls in the spring. Full is packed so cleaning only helps. The first thing to do is check if there is any unnecessary ballast on board. On the smartphone, these are applications that you no longer use anyway. Some applications can occupy several hundred megabytes of memory. That is why you need to delete the unused apps.

Deleting videos is a bit more complex, but definitely profitable. Of course, you only have to choose those that you do not want to keep, for example because they are unimportant, failed or unwanted recordings. But the search is worth it. Videos consume a lot of memory. You can also do the photo process. This can also be useful if there are many recordings.

If you dont want to get rid of the photos and videos forever, but you dont need them on your smartphone, there is an alternative way: Back up the files to a computer. Once the photos and videos have been backed up, you can delete them on your phone to free up storage space again.

Android / iOS: The process is almost identical on both systems.

WhatsApp is still the most popular messenger in the world. However, it also has its downsides. A double-edged sword is the automatic storage of received files. Every photo and video secretly ends up on your local data storage device and takes up valuable space, even if you delete them from the photos or gallery app (see tip 1). Its not uncommon for WhatsApp to be in the top 3 of the space-consuming ones (see tip 0). Most of the media are usually funny snapshots that you dont want to keep for the long haul.

Conveniently, WhatsApp now has built-in memory management. To do this, go to Settings and Manage storage. Now there are several options: You can delete files larger than 5 megabytes to be the first to remove large memory hogs. It is almost exclusively about videos. Or you can look at the chats listed below to see what content you want to remove from them.

Do you want an alternative to WhatsApp Messenger? The choice is not very wide, but there is one.

When browsing, downloading and more: unnecessary files just accumulate on the smartphone through use, such as cookies, temporary or damaged or outdated files and more. So-called junk files are unnecessary and cost memory. So go with the garbage.

Android: A popular application for Windows computers is also available for Android smartphones: CCleaner. You can get over it download this link or get it yourself from play store. After that, follow the few steps in the app to clean up the memory.

ios: CCleaner is not available on iOS and the alternatives are usually paid, at exorbitant prices. However, Apples operating system handles garbage handling automatically, so there is less to clean up than on Android. If you want to help, you can:

CCleaner PC optimization tool completely and safely removes junk data from PC in one go. The new version is now available in the Microsoft Store.

With cloud services, you save your files on a server, for example at Google, Microsoft or Apple. Reservations about storing private and highly personal data, such as vacation photos, may deter some users. A cloud service has unbeatable advantages:

The provider you choose is up to you. In general, the following applies: Depending on the operating system, internal services are better integrated. For Android there is Google drive about. Auto upload can be activated for photos and videos and Android users usually already have the necessary Google account anyway. Up to 15 gigabytes of storage are available here for free.

For Apple iOS is suitable iCloud. The service is deeply anchored in the operating system. Therefore, it is particularly convenient to back up photos, videos, and device settings. However, only 5 gigabytes of storage space are free.

Cloud services offer a large amount of storage space on the Internet that can be accessed from anywhere. IMTEST has compared how practical and secure five cloud storage providers are.

iCloud: If you havent already done so when setting up iPhone, you can turn on iCloud in settings. To do this, press directly on the previous settings in your profile (provided with your username), then on iCloud. Here, depending on the application, you can choose what should end up in the cloud. Under Photos you will also find the item Optimize iPhone storage. This will give you additional storage space on the iPhone.

Google drive: The app is on most Android smartphones Google photos, which is based on Google Drive, already installed. Both iPhones and Android devices can get the app from the corresponding app store. If you start the application for the first time, you will be asked if you want to backup your photos and videos. Also, you can gain memory. Photos are uploaded to the cloud and deleted from the smartphone. They can still be accessed as long as the device has access to the internet and the Google Photos app. To do this, press your profile symbol in the upper right corner, then Free up space and confirm with the blue button below.
