Photocopier security!

A CBS news item this week indicates that photocopier hard drives can store thousands of documents, pretty much anything they've ever scanned. If the copier is sold (or otherwise disposed of), the new owner can pull the hard drive and access all of those documents.

I consider myself relatively tech-aware, and I had no idea that photocopiers maintained long-term files of whatever I copied. Now I know, and so do you!

Just something to think about if you copy proprietary info at work, personal information at Staples, or your drunken derriere at the new year's office party!
