Privacy and Viruses

KairUs

At the ArtLab we had some discussions around privacy, surveillance and how our data is spread online, so the two first videos are points of views on these topics. One of the projects was looking more closely into what viruses are on the hard-drives. Therefore Mikko Hyppönens talk might be interesting giving a nutshell introduction into history of computer viruses.

Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets

KairUs

At a warehouse in New Jersey, 6,000 used copy machines sit ready to be sold. CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports almost every one of them holds a secret.

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.

“The type of information we see on these machines with the social security numbers, birth certificates, bank records, income tax forms,” John Juntunen said, “that information would be very valuable.”
