Apparently photocopy machines since 2002 have hard drives that record
every document that is copied. Now there are warehouses full of used
copiers from banks, insurance companies, hospitals, doctors offices,
lawyers offices, police departments, government offices full of
documents scanned, printed or faxed by these organizations.
They are being sold to people in foreign countries all over the world as
we speak. Is your data secure?

I'm trying to think but nothing happens.........


Another urban myth... They don't make hard drives which could
store every image copied by a copier -- just no way to store the
data for 2 million copies on one hard drive... If the machines were
set up to be able to do this the data would have to be "harvested"
frequently to prevent overwriting of the stored images...

If corporations feel that this is a possible risk, then like any other
computer device they should remove the hard drive and physically
shred it in a machine which is capable of destroying small metal
parts prior to abandoning the machines to non-corporate agents...
