[HIB]Degauss your photocopier hard drives and prevent data theft

The vulnerability of information stored on a computer hard drive has been recognized as a security risk for some time, but did you know that digital photocopiers and high-end laser printers also include a hard drive which can store and log all of your activity? Today’s copiers and printers harvest images of every scanned, faxed and printed document. Think for a moment about the vast quantities of information that you routinely print and copy: personnel files, financial reports, legal documents and commercial contracts – even your own passport. Now imagine this sensitive information falling into the hands of an unscrupulous third party. Unless you take action, every time a digital copier or high-end laser printer leaves your control, all the data stored on its hard drive will go with it and you run the risk of falling victim to identity or data theft, according to Verity Systems.
