JPINFV Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Your first step would be to reformat the hard drive and wipe out any possible bad stuff that may be on there. I thought that the first step was to find the hidden porn folder... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Star Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Woah thats freaky as shit. I think I have found my new get rich quick scheme! ' Is blackmail still illegal? If it is, I get half of whatever you 'earn' by extort for keeping my mouth shut! Something to do with 'premeditation' kind of makes it worse when you get caught.....

The new copies have a hard drive but that hard drive only stores the current copy job. The manufacturers state that the hard drive is wiped after each use. Do I believe that, nope nope nope. I don't believe it a second. But that's what they claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtashelyb Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Well its never safe for me to copy anything. Ive been banned from using the copier at work I tend to break it everytime I touch it. We scan in all of our paperwork through our copier though thats kind of scary to think we could be breaking hippa without even knowing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you sit on the copier.....although, I'm pretty sure there are some on here that would like to see THOSE copies you're making!

DwayneEMTP Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is blackmail still illegal? Evidently not, as one of the manufacturers interview said that they understood that this is a significant problem, but they are willing to sell you the solution for a mere $500. I'm not sure if that's blackmail or extortion, but it pisses me off that they are going to, against my will, store up to 30,000 documents and then charge me for the privledge of deleting them. Also, I noticed that it's 'leased' copiers that they had purchased for the story. I think that a huge percentage of security sensitive agencies lease their copiers. Police, EMS, hospitals, etc. It gives them a maintenance and trade in option. Can anyone think of why a copier/printer/fax machine would need such a large hard drive in able to do it's job?

They have cameras up in our office I could never get away with that I always end up making it print thousands of pages of binary code instead of what I was trying to copy.
