Security flaw with a difference the Xerox scanner that makes your house smaller!

A German computer scientist spotted an alarming anomaly on a Xerox WorkCenter scanner. The problem is a consequence of an algorithm chosen for compression. JBIG2 compression means that if two swatches of the image look like each other, the same data is used for both swatches, so that they effectively become identical. Xerox emailed us at 2013-08-10T11:15Z to point us at some official advice on the issue. If youre worried someone might have changed the compression settings, a reset to factory defaults will change them back.”]
