The problem is leased copiers--who knew they were data storage devices? Well, the bad guys probably knew--if they didn't they do now.
"During its investigation, CBS [April 19 report] found a machine used by a police sex crimes division in Buffalo, N.Y., with information on criminal suspects and domestic violence complaints. It also found pay stubs with Social Security numbers and medical records from insurer Affinity Health Plan, including names and physician diagnoses."
I guess since most businesses don't know how to overwrite the data, maybe the criminals don't either?
