Warning, certain Xerox scanners/photocopiers can switch numbers on scans

I came across this article recently, and it is my worst nightmare come true.  I have always been a little circumspect when coping and scanning documents, but never thought that it would actually happen.

Based on this report, certain Xerox photo copiers have a habit of changing numbers.  

 The full story is here,

 Xerox Work Centers Switching Numbers when scanning

Here is a sample of the problem, 

This looks like a limited problem on a couple of models of Xerox machines, but once this becomes better distributed I can only imagine the fall out.   The site article is definitely worth a read, and Xerox is very focused on resolving the problem, but one can only imagine the problems that might, or have arisen from the issue.  

Be sure to review the list of the affected printer/copier/scanners.   The last thing that you would want is to have this issue befall you after it has been discovered.
