Is your copy machine a breading ground for ID theft?

I just had this news article sent to me and I felt it necessary to share with the AR community.

I'm not sure how you can go about safeguarding your clients information when handling the financial documents required to purchase a home…but this is SCARY! As someone who originated loans for several years and shreds EVERYTHING…who knew I had one more thing to worry about when it comes to protecting my own identity!

Please watch this quick video about how copy machines store all of the information ever copied on them! Used copy machines are sold all the time and the information contained on them is SHOCKING.

Please pass this information along to your broker so that your broker can take the necessary steps to safeguard the information of your clients.
