Here is my question...
Was his drive encrypted with FileVault? If it was and a Joe Schmoe company off the street can recover it, it makes me sincerely doubt iOS and apple security.
Even further the fact a story said the NSA couldn't crack the data on a wiped iOS device tells me that NSA lied especially if Bob's data recovery company did it in a week.

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.

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.
