| A follow-up on the story about Mat Honan having his iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air wiped. It turns out he *was* able to recover much of his data. Great news for him, but bad news for security.
Mat Honan: How I Resurrected My Digital Life After an Epic Hacking
My data came back to me on an external hard drive, organized by file types. The thing I cared most about, above all else, was my photo library. And there, in a folder full of JPGs, was photo after photo after photo that I had feared were gone forever. Subfolders were organized by the year, month and day files were created. I went immediately to the folder that bore the date my daughter was born. They were there. Everything was there. We were floored. I nearly cried. Todd
