In Canada I think fax machines are still prevalent. Let’s get rid of those insecure devices too.

It’s privacy regs. Fax machines are as insecure as ever, and that’s the point: it doesn’t get worse while ciphers retire constantly. So while this years it’s SHAx that dies, fucking fax machines’ threat is statically bad.

Reliably bad is reliable, I guess.

I say this while having been one of those people who got a raft of fax spam from a clinic who flubbed the numbers.

Threats understood are more easily mitigated.

Also sometimes things like fax are used because of the laws protecting those wires
