Recently I dropped my xperia z5 phone and the back cover shattered. I ordered a new cover costing £5. I checked on YouTube explaining how to replace the cover. It seems fairly straightforward; with no component need addressing. The cover was removed and a new one stuck on in minutes.
I went to a shop to ask if they could replace the cover for me. I was told it would take over 40 minutes. I was skeptical about this and feel concerned about the security of the data on my phone. The internal storage has picures, passport details, bank details etc.
If I remove my sim card and memory card and power off the phone, will the phone engineer still be able to extract this information even if my phone is password protected?
