On Photocopiers and Identity Fraud

Over at Baseline, Debbie Gage writes ...

At least 15 million Americans are now victims of identity fraud, up more than 50% since 2003 when the Federal Trade Commission released its numbers, Gartner says. Americans are also losing more money to identity fraud--$3,257 on average in 2006, compared to $1,849 in 2005--and they're recovering less, an average of 26% less.

That is alot of companies that should be listening to Avivah right now. PCI is here and getting compliant is a necessity. (And Avivah specializes in that area of course!)

But how about those devices -- you know those photocopiers are watching your data too...

"Everyone forgets that there's data in there," said Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner. "Copiers and other intelligent devices like multifunction printers are very exposed in the enterprise. They're open to attack via modems, and people forget about changing the default passwords."

All of your devices are harboring data. How do you deal with that? Is it secure?
