Do you know how important to keep your data private safe? And do you really know how to proctect your data from other people?

How to keep your data save when your phone is broken?

Before your phone is broken, do this to protect the data. Always use a secure lock screen, a good secure code can keep almost everyone from getting access to your phone. Change your Google account password when you’re signed into a device which you are unable to sign out of when you’ve stopped using it, this will keep other people from logging in to your account. Factory reset when you sell the phone.

This is also the best and easiest way if the phone is destroyed. Set up a secure lock screen now, periodical change your Google password, factory reset when you sell the phone. But what should you do when the phone is already broken? You just have two options. Firstly, change your account password and hope nobody runs your phone again. Last, physically destroy from the inside, seem weird but this is the most certain way to protect your data from thiefs.

Use a small sharp thing and a heavy pliers to twist until the pop free. Keep twisting until you see the green circuit boards inside, it is behind the display pannel. On those boards, you’ll see various black squares. Two of them are larger than the rest. One of those is the flash storage, usually about the size of a stamp. The other bigger one is the processor. Use a heavy thing to crush both of those components until they are sufficiently broken.

What happen to your data when your phone is broken?

Even when a phone is broken, we still can get data from that phone. How is it possible? The board with the flash storage and processor is deeply inside, so it hard to be destroyed. Someone can use it to download your data or that board can be used to replace the damaged stuff on the other phones.
