Today I found an interesting article on CNN, regarding hard drives in copy machines . Apparently some copy machines keep a copy of your copy, and it may end up… well, who knows where? Once it's digital, it's up for grabs. Who's to say a smart hacker won't learn which copiers do this, pose as a repair man, and take copier hard drives from busy places, the day after taxes are due? Maybe it would be too much work, but you never know how desperate people are or what they'll do for a little money. So be careful where you get your tax returns copied this year. Better yet, save a tree and file electronically!

Also today I learned (via ScamBusters.org) about a service to protect your identity. It's called LifeLock and they basically make your sensitive information useless to hackers and thieves, by putting blocks on your credit reports. Their CEO proves it works by posting his own social security number on the home page. Brave guy!
