In the age of everything digital, the photocopier is
probably the one workplace item you never thought to worry about. It's
just making a copy of a document, right? How risky could that be? The painful truth is that
discarded photocopiers contain hard drives that are stuffed full of corporate and
personal secrets!
Most high-end photocopiers produced since 2002 have a
big hard-drive built-in and are used to store copies of documents that
are scanned from the glass. Harvesting scanned documents from discarded
office copiers (mostly traded-in and retuned at the end of a lease) can
yield a treasure-trove of fascinating as well as harmful information.
Most people think the copier is just headed for a
junkyard when they upgrade to a new one. In most cases however, when the
machine goes, so does sensitive data that has been stored on the
copier's hard drive for years. This can amount to millions of documents
and private, even secret information. Identity thieves are having a
hey-day.
The video below will introduce you to the issues and
they are very far-reaching. It will also scare the heck out of you! Tell
your Friends, Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant, Brother, Sister, Strangers on
the street - everyone that uses photocopiers. They all need to know
about this
potentially life-changing information.... |
