<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I saw the full report on television last night. The kicker is that whenever you go to lease a copy machine, it's probably been used by another company. And you get to lease it with a full, unwiped hard drive. Imagine the possibilities. The report showed a few and they were shocking. An excellent piece of reporting!<br>

blurb<br>
"Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive -<br>
like the one on your personal computer - storing an image of every<br>
document copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine.<br>
<br>
In the process, it's turned an office staple into a digital time-bomb<br>
packed with highly-personal or sensitive data.<br>
<br>
If you're in the identity theft business it seems this would be a pot of<br>
gold.<br>
<br>
"The type of information we see on these machines with the social<br>
security numbers, birth certificates, bank records, income tax forms,"<br>
John Juntunen said, "that information would be very valuable.""<br>
