WDC WD40NDZW-11MR8S0

Hi all: mrgreen:
Long time without writing here...
I want to ask a question that I know the answer, but just in case...
A WDC WD40NDZW-11MR8S0 with damaged PCB (MCU has a small hole... (I don't know how)) until today it's not possible to recover right? It's possible to get S.A modules and do head map with "unlock" PCB but if the data is corrupted by MCU not possible to recover... or yes?

Not possible if the MCU is dead and data is encrypted. And won't be possible until somebody can brute-force AES keys in reasonable time (right now we are looking at trillions of years)

What I suspected, but wanted to confirm that...

Thanks so much :/
