- Xerox copiers rewriting papers
David Kriesel, a German computer scientist has discovered that some Xerox copiers are wrong to change the numbers of documents. Kriesel discovered the flaw when he realized that the dimensions of the room on a construction plan he had copied had magically changed from 21.11m to 14.13m. The problem is considered to be caused by JBIG2, an image compression standard, which replaces the figures he believes are the same, meaning that numbers such as 6 and 8 are frequently switched incorrectly. Xerox confirmed that they will release a patch in the next two weeks, but Kriesel is worried that the problem would have already assigned important documents such as invoices.
