Often when a politician is asked how he/she got hold of a confidential document or the damaging information within, he/she will most likely say "it fell off the back of a truck!" I wouldn't be surprised if some of these politician would one day, if not already, say that the document came from the photocopier! And this is why.
Several years back when I was working in Adelaide (South Australia), one of my colleague was very sure he knows how much the GM of our organisation was making. He would speak as though he has seen the payslip of our GM. And it turns out that he has! I was told that this colleague will flip the cover of a photocopier whenever he walked passed one! And on one occasion, he found the payslip of the GM in the photocopier! As this GM is not a very nice person, this colleague could have made many copies of his payslip and distributed it but he didn't.
I am sure you may have come across a document or two in a photocopier or have left a document in a photocopier yourself. Even though I do not flip the cover of photocopiers like my ex-colleague from Adelaide, I have come across a number of sensitive documents left in photocopiers including a cheque for a five digit sum. I have also come across sensitive documents in printers including those that has a secure print feature.
