Researcher security specialist revealed that when you delete a conversation on the application WhatsApp they do not delete entirely and completely, but leave behind those who can effect up to the device or backup retrieval talks.
Researcher Jonathan Zdziarski said that in addition to keeping the talks and stored on the user's PC, it is its effects are stored under the backups to icloud to the iPhone, and although the program iTunes allows encrypts backups that are stored on your device thus prevents the recovery of anything of them, but it is not so when stored on icloud.
The idea here is that if governments and law enforcement authorities asked Apple delivered a backup copy of any user data, it can be extracted through talks WhatsApp them.
The researcher explains that the blame here lies not with WhatsApp alone, even application iMessage does the same thing as the reason is due to the database library SQLite used to develop this conversation applications that do not rewrite new data until it is re-writing the new data on the parts of the disk storage already are already used in the talks, the data is stored. When you delete any any conversation, the application indicates the data as deleted but in practice have not been deleted from the disk storage because they are not written by the new data as the SQLite library do not write new data over the data that has been previously deleted default situation.
However experts calling for calm and not to panic because the talks retrieve backups are complex and difficult process, and to increase the difficulty of command, you can use a strong password for the backup copies of your data using iTunes.
It is worth mentioning that the situation has been clarified concerning the iOS operating system does not specifically certain information if the same applies to the Android system also.
