Did you know every digital photocopier made since the 2002 has a hard drive that saves a copy of everything it sees?
Like your driver’s license, your social security card, your credit cards, your medical records, all of that personal stuff that you may have copied at one time or another. Or for that matter, everything about you that any business – bank, medical practice, police agency – has ever had occasion to put through a copier.
And pretty much nobody bothers to wipe the hard drive when the copier is sold or returned at the end of a lease period.
If you worry about identity theft, this report from CBS News will give you a serious Maalox moment.
