Operations Officer comes to me this morning and asks if we wipe our copiers clean before we give them away or throw them away. I say we clean everything before we ever let it go out of our department but why are you asking about copiers. He proceeds to tell me about a 20/20 or 60 minutes spot where some person but 5 copiers and got all kinds of personal info from police departments and what not's because copiers have hard drives in them and they retain everything that is copied to them over time. So, is this true? If so is there a way to 'clean' them before reselling them or trashing them and still keeping them functional? . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
