WARNING: Every Image on your Copy Machine is Stored and Vulnerable to Theft

June 4, 2010 by jclements





Every image on your copy machine is stored and vulnerable to theft. Every single copy you have made – both business and personal – financial reports, medical reports, intellectual property, brainstorm sessions, might be on the hard drive inside your copy machine.

This CBS investigative report is 5 minutes long.  It is worth viewing it all and then talking to your IT/Data Security department to make sure that your company is aware of this vulnerability.

Wait till you see the section about the copy machine the investigators picked up that came from a police department. WOW!
