[TD=class: alt1]Hi.

 

By a mistake I sent some sensitive information to a contact of mine. I contacted the guy and meet up with him to make sure that he deleted the mail. I watched him delted the mail from his inbox and from his trashcan, can the guy still get the mail back then? He was using a hotmail account and was using his cell phone. Not sure what browser he used sorry. The mail was sent from a gmail account with a firefox browser. The mail is also delted from from my mail (both sent mail and trash can).

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Hotmail uses a web-based server to store data. It is not on his hard drive.

If he deleted it from his Hotmail inbox - then empty the trashcan - he has no further access to it that I can see.

 

If it was deleted from his hard drive this would be a different matter as there is recovery software that could be used to recover it.

 

From what you say I don't think your contact has access to the sensitive information anymore - unless he made a copy and stored this elsewhere.
