Photocopiers potential security risk
Most of us know that hard drives can be a potential security risk when old computers are discarded, but did you know that photocopiers have hard drives too?
The problem is highlighted in this report from CBS News.
After photocopying sensitive business documents such as bank statements, or personal ID, passports, driving licences, etc, a digital photocopier stores all this information on the hard drive which can be read later.
Seems that in future when these things are put out for recycling best to smash up the hard drive to be on the safe side.
