Xerox Copiers Altering Documents

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Apparently, Xerox scanners/photocopiers randomly alter numbers in scanned documents.

Naturally, I immediately wondered of any of those altered documents wound up involved in eDiscovery?

Update: Xerox has responded on their own blog. As I suspected, it wouldn’t be common for the characters to get changed as described in the first post, but you could certainly stumble into it and have some inaccuracies if you weren’t paying very close attention. Gladly Xerox will be issuing a patch, and explained how to set your device back to factory settings, where, apparently, the issue does not exist.

    This is going to be very real, very soon. And there’s no reason to think people are going to somehow learn to be more discerning that they are already. “Let’s put this all together.

  • Does Anyone Believe Meta Will Do This Well?

    This is the same company that has been accused of serving beauty ads to young women after it detected that they had deleted a selfie from their phones, and also of selling that to advertisers as a business model. 

    The same company that refuses to take down obviously dangerous and false information in the interest of “free speech absolutism” wants us to believe that it will protect people from online harassment now when it’s content created with their glasses specifically to stalk and harass them?

    Sorry, Adam, you don’t get that kind of benefit of the doubt.
