Hard Drive Security
I bet you
didn't know that the hard drive on your copier may contain every
single document you copied, printed or scanned. Back in 2002
almost every copier sold in the United States uses 1 or more
hard drives. Hard drives that are capable of storing all types
of data. Almost all copiers in service today store an image of
every copy, print, scan and fax job.
Some used copiers are resold through dealers in the U.S.,
however, many machines are loaded into cargo containers and
shipped overseas with confidential data intact. Do you know
where your information went?
Many
machines require no hacking at all. Just press a button or two
on the control panel and see. I can tell you from first hand
experience that even after deleting the job the image is still
there and really quite easy to retrieve.
We have seen documents from medical offices with personal medical history, from accounting firms with social security numbers and tax returns as well as from schools with personal information about our children's age, height, weight, hair color, birthdays, social security numbers. Bank documents, police documents, mortgage companies, images of checks and personal emails that have been sent out.
Needless to say, every thing you hoped to be held confidential is compromised. Everything a criminal needs to steal your identity, or more.
