Views41,162
Recently, I deleted an important business-related conversation from KakaoTalk. That conversation contained important contract terms and negotiation details, and I am worried about whether I can recover the conversation I deleted by mistake. The KakaoTalk conversation content could be truly important evidence, so I would like to know whether recovery is possible through KakaoTalk forensics even after deletion. If recovery is not possible, please also tell me what I should do.

Whether a KakaoTalk conversation can be recovered after deletion depends on several factors.
KakaoTalk forensics is the process of recovering deleted messages, and recovery is possible if the messages have not yet been completely erased from the server or the device.
The important point here is that the shorter the period from the time the conversation is deleted to the time the forensic work is carried out, the higher the probability of recovery.
In that case, the situations in which KakaoTalk forensics is possible can generally be divided into two.
The first is where some of the deleted messages remain within the user's device.
In this case, a forensic expert can analyze the storage space of the device concerned and restore the deleted data.
The second is where some data remains on the KakaoTalk server, in which case cooperation from KakaoTalk may be required to recover the data.
However, depending on KakaoTalk's policy, the recovery of conversations at the user's request may be restricted.
Therefore, if you wish to recover conversations through KakaoTalk forensics, it is best to entrust the matter to a forensic expert as soon as possible.
If you entrust KakaoTalk forensics to our firm, our digital forensics center will carry out the KakaoTalk forensics for you and find your deleted conversation content as quickly as possible.
If KakaoTalk forensics proves difficult, a specialized attorney will review your circumstances and present the optimal legal solution.
