Re: copier harddrives in the news

["Stucky, David" <dys5 () PSU EDU>]

I saw this issue pop up in the interwebs a couple of weeks ago.  You would think the industry would provide some sort 
of maintenance mode HD wipe feature standard, especially for leased units.  I like when the guy said the security 
features on the one digital copier cost $500 extra.  With leased units would ever really know what you were getting 
with a security feature set.  Seems like you would almost be better off asking the leasing company for a keep the hard 
drive option for digital copiers.

Don't forget printers with flash memory and hard drives can store fun stuff also.  

Thanks...

Summary: cbsnews bought a few used copiers at random and discovered lots of sensitive information on the harddrives 
that were inside of them.
