Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets
Your Office Copy Machine Might Digitally Store Thousands of Documents That Get Passed on at Resale

Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive - like the one on your personal computer - storing an image of every document copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine.

In the process, it's turned an office staple into a digital time-bomb packed with highly-personal or sensitive data. If you're in the identity theft business it seems this would be a pot of gold.

New Phishing Scam is Something to Worry About
Yet another phishing attack to be aware of. This one's sly and nasty.

Those hackers, they're just getting smarter all the time. Aza Raskin, the creative lead for Firefox, gives us the latest version of "trickier than you".

Have you ever had a few tabs open in your Firefox, went away for a bit and then forgotten what you were looking at in the first place? This is exactly what Raskin is showing as a target scenario.

Let's say you're browsing a few channels here on TNW, and you look up to realize that a tab is open to your Gmail. So, of course you're going to click the tab and login, then be taken directly to your gmail account.  No harm done, eh?
Right. Except that you just gave your login information to a phisher.
