For millions of pounds, it might be worth using an electron microscope to try to pull the bits off if the platters can be recovered.

electron microscope have really low odds of recovering anything useful.

At beast it's a speculative attack to be considered in a risk assessment, not a real attack anyone ever actually uses.

I'd welcome any information about people really using electron microscopes to get better than 63% per bit recovery.
