Photocopier Breaches Gaining Wind?
April 21, 2010Well, it’s old news, but it looks like CBS may have triggered something of a national obsession. After an expose of digital photocopiers and the amount of sensitive data that can be found on those machines, a CBS affiliate has carried out the same experiment with pretty much the same results:
No surprise that they found something. A lot of somethings. This time the sensitive documents were from a Tommy Bahamas chain restaurant in Scottsdale. They pulled names and Social Security numbers of all their employees and copies of payroll and traveler’s checks.
Basically, the story is going to be the same anywhere: old photocopiers don’t exist anymore, most are modern digital ones, and every single one of those have a hard drive, just like a computer.
