Scavenging: The practice of searching for and reusing discarded or abandoned data, often involving combing through discarded hardware devices, network traffic, or public domains for residual data. Unprotected data or insufficiently sanitized storage media can be exploited, emphasizing the need for robust data disposal practices and secure data transmission to prevent unauthorized access.
