[Solar-general] Las impresoras y la privacidad

"Copier warehouses across the country are filled with row upon row of
used machines ready for resale. But CBS 5 Investigates found many of
them hold private and sensitive information never cleared from
internal hard drives.

What most people think of as copy machines are these days known as
"multi-function machines" that also scan, fax and even email. But to
do all that, the machines store copies of documents on hard drives in
a range of sizes.

John Juntunen founded a Sacramento-area company focused on securing
copier data. He said the hard drives can hold as many as 25,000
documents.

His company, Digital Copier Security Inc., has found examples such as
a high school student's record complete with photo and date of birth.
They're records that schools are supposed to keep private. Finding tax
returns is also not unusual."
