Elcomsoft is a Moscow based firm that creates forensics software said it was possible [Pdf] to retrieve your deleted browser history beyond a year. Elcomsoft CEO Vladimir Katalov stumbled upon this while he was testing out his new hacking tool to view his safari history on his iPhone. He discovered that Apple was storing consumer data in a secret cloud service from iCloud called “Tombstone.” Data was not being deleted from this service for the ease of syncing separate devices.
When Vladimir used their phone breaker software to extract his browser history, he noticed that deleted data up to a year old was still recorded. In the interview with Forbes, Katalov claimed “We have found that they stay in the cloud, probably forever,” records that were deleted from both Mac and iPhone interestingly were termed as “cleared” rather than “deleted” in Safari. These claims were verified by an IOS expert brought in by Forbes.
