The statement is partially true. In certain scenarios, determined and sophisticated adversaries, especially nation-states with advanced capabilities, may possess the expertise and resources to attempt data recovery from overwritten drives. This process involves specialized techniques such as magnetic force microscopy or advanced signal processing to reconstruct overwritten data. However, it's important to note that modern data erasure methods, like using secure deletion tools that overwrite data multiple times, make it extremely challenging for standard data recovery methods to retrieve information. The effectiveness of data recovery also depends on factors such as the type of storage media, the overwrite method used, and the condition of the drive. For most practical purposes, overwriting data using recognized and secure methods is sufficient to make it practically unrecoverable for all but the most advanced and well-funded adversaries. Organizations and individuals typically use industry-standard methods like DoD 5220.22-M or NIST Special Publication 800-88 for secure data erasure, which involves multiple passes of random data overwriting. While the possibility of determined adversaries exists, following best practices for secure data erasure significantly reduces the risk of data recovery from overwritten drives.
