>
> At a warehouse in New Jersey, 6,000 used copy machines sit ready to be
> sold. CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports
> almost every one of them holds a secret.
>
> Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive - like
> the one on your personal computer - storing an image of every document
> copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine.
>
> In the process, it's turned an office staple into a digital time-bomb
> packed with highly-personal or sensitive data.
>
> If you're in the identity theft business it seems this would be a pot of
> gold.
