Hello! I recently watched a documentary about cybersecurity, and it mentioned that some companies still use fax machines for security reasons. Is that actually true?

Hi! Yes, in some cases that’s correct. Because fax machines typically operate over telephone lines rather than internet networks, they may be less vulnerable to certain types of cyber attacks. For industries dealing with highly sensitive data, this can make fax an appealing option for transmitting specific documents. If you’d like to learn more about the history of technologies like fax and how they influenced secure communication systems, visiting https://www.museumofcomputerart.com/ is a great idea.
