Are there any security risks with using public fax machines?

1. Ensure that your document is safely received.
2. Attempt to physically block nearby individuals from viewing your information.
3. When the fax is transmitting, only provide the necessary information needed.
4. After sending your document, destroy any evidence used (e.g. remove paper in the tray).
5. Pay attention to the location of the public fax machine. Big cities, airports and busy stores are more likely to encounter risks.
6. If obtaining a true faxing solution is not possible, it would be beneficial to invest in a fax encryption software.
