digital copiers to your list of things to be afraid of. Turns out most of the
machines built since 2002 have copies of every image they scanned stored on
their hard drives -- and when those machines change hands, they're seldom wiped
clean. The FTC has taken steps to inform manufacturers, resellers and office
supply stores about the risks, but what is the agency really empowered to do?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

href="http://markey.house.gov/docs/markeyftc.pdf" target="_blank"><span
style='color:#154296;text-decoration:none'>responded</span></a> to an
April 29 letter from Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., expressing concerns about
sensitive data stored on digital copiers' hard drives. Markey's letter followed
CBS News' April 19 airing of a <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC38D5am7go" target="_blank"><span
style='color:#154296;text-decoration:none'>report</span></a> on its
investigation into the matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The
FTC said it was aware of the privacy issues and planned to take steps to inform
manufacturers, resellers and office supply stores about the risks associated
with digital copying and see that they were taking steps to provide options for
secure copying.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"We
will work with these entities to help ensure that they provide appropriate
educational materials on this subject to their clients," wrote FTC
chairman Jon Leibowitz. He also directed Markey to educational materials the
FTC <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/idtheft/bus54.shtm"
target="_blank"><span style='color:#154296;text-decoration:none'>previously
distributed</span></a> on disposing of computer hard drives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"We
are also reaching out to government contracting officials to advise them of the
risks associated with the use of digital copiers and ensure that the government
is taking measures to protect the information we collect from the public,"
Leibowitz continued. The FTC routinely erases and destroys hard drives when it
returns copiers, the chairman said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

digital copiers, Ed McLaughlin, president of <a
href="http://www.sharpusa.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#154296;
text-decoration:none'>Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America</span></a>,
admitted in the CBS News report.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>During
its investigation, CBS 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 <a href="https://www.affinityplan.org/"

<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Copiers
are leased for fixed periods and then shipped around the world with sensitive

target="_blank"><span style='color:#154296;text-decoration:none'>letter</span></a> to

<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"I
am concerned that these hard drives represent a treasure trove for
thieves," he wrote, "leaving unwitting consumers vulnerable to
identity theft as their Social Security numbers, birth certificates, medical
records, bank records and other personal information are exposed to individuals
who could easily extract the data from the digital copiers' hard drives and use
it for criminal purposes."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Business
and government agencies need to take steps to erase the data before returning
the machine or disposing of it, Markey cautioned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The
FTC and Rep. Markey's office did not return TechNewsWorld's calls requesting
comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It
shouldn't be difficult to apply the same methods of destroying computer data to
the data on digital copiers' hard drives, Rob Enderle, principal analyst for
the <a href="http://www.enderlegroup.com/"><span style='color:#154296;
text-decoration:none'>Enderle Group</span></a>, told TechNewsWorld, but this is
not something people have thought about.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"A
lot of these things could be sitting in landfills and repurposed," he
said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"This
shouldn't have been news," Enderle continued. "Something was
overlooked, because they're not sold as storage devices -- they're sold as copy
machines."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The
FTC will likely set in place automatic purge rules for digital copiers, said
Enderle. After a copying, scanning, or printing job is complete, the files
would have to be deleted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

aware of the problem, there will be efforts to encrypt data," he added,
noting that existing methods for disposing of PC and server data will be
extended to copier information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"It
shouldn't be particularly hard to use the same processes and rules. I don't see
the fixes as particularly onerous," Enderle said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Yet
there is doubt as to whether the FTC's efforts will be fruitful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"To
me it's going to be a fair amount of waste of time," said Ira Winkler,
author of <i>Spies Among Us</i> and president of the <a
href="http://www.isag.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#154296;
text-decoration:none'>Internet Security Advisors Group</span></a>, who appeared
in the CBS News report that shed light on this problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"What
can the FTC actually do? The FTC has no control over the Buffalo Police. I
don't think the FTC has responsibility for medical records," Winkler told
TechNewsWorld.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"They
can write a report and tell Congress we need to pass this [information] along.
I mean, this is decades late," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"They're
going to spend lots and lots of money on something that's glaringly obvious.
This is like saying drunk drivers theoretically can kill people. What type of
study do you really need done?" Winkler asked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

are a whole series of regulations that may now come into play as folks look at

the scenario of a digital copier being leased at one time by a U.S. Embassy and
