Previous owners‘ data found on 100 Motorola Xoom tablets sold online

Motorola’s Xoom may have been a pioneer in the Honeycomb tablet market but failed to make a big enough dent that left an impression. The company recently decided to sell the Xoom, well refurbished devices anyway, online at discounted prices. A total of about 6,200 Xoom tablets went up for sale through Woot.com. While the prices may have been a been a good bargain for new owners looking to invest in an Android tablet, it proved be slightly distressful for the devices’ previous owners. Out of the 6200 odd that were on sale around 100 of them that were sold still seemed to have previous owners’ data. Although the exact details were not revealed, it is quite possible that it could have included highly personal and sensitive information such as photos, videos, email messages, passwords, chat logs, banking details and so on.Click here for full story
