It's the belief of most people with fax machine as they feel it's somehow manual because of the printing but it's a misconception. I used to think in the same line too until I was enlightened by some who knew better than I did.Well, it seems like using any kind of device is not that safe at all. Hackers are everywhere and it seems like they gain access to much of the data of a person. I have never thought about a fax machine getting hacked and this is the first time I have actually read about it.
