Woman buys ‘new’ iPad from Target with past user’s personal information

Like many bargain hunters this past weekend, Robin Crowley of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, thought she found a deal on a new iPad Air. Robin told CTV, “I actually researched in the flyers for Black Friday deals and Target as far as I was concerned had the best deal.” Buying what was sold as a brand new iPad, the shopper was surprised when she opened up the sealed box and turned on the gadget.

The device did not default to a setup screen, but instead Robin said she found the personal information of the tablet’s previous user which included, “Hundreds of pictures of friends and family. Her complete schedule that was on the calendar there. There was three pages of apps that she had obviously added.” The tablet’s address book also contained contact information of over 207 people.
