Did you know that since 2002 almost all new xerographic copier machines have been digital? That means that they each have a hard drive that keeps a record of each image that has been photocopied. That means that one can buy a used copier and download each of those images using forensic software. CBS' Armen Keteyian knows about this. He bought three secondhand copiers for $300 each and had a forensic software expert download copies of police records from a sex crimes unit, of pay stubs and Social Security numbers from a construction firm, and of individual medical records from an insurance company.
Who gave Keteyian help for his Investigation? The Digital Copier Security firm of Sacramento. What does it do? "It develops software that can scrub all the data on hard drives." How much would that increase the cost of a copier? $500 per machine.
