We all want to do everything possible to protect our private information. Even as we think we have done all we can to secure our information, a new potential avenue for obtaining individual and company information emerges. A recent CBS News investigation, for example, reported that most digital copiers since 2002 contain a hard drive that stores an image of each document it handles, including bank records, tax data, SSNs, paychecks, bills, and medical records. With an expert's assistance, CBS used free software to obtain images of thousands of documents in a half day's time from used copiers it purchased for about $300 each. So the caveat is to wipe copier hard drives before ridding yourself of them.
