re: Is there a legit reason to be still using Fax machine

The fax machine is a secured transmission of data. A hacker can't get to your fax machine. But they can and will get to your email. We use it for client information. Most attorneys that I know use it for confidential client information

This is an odd one now because many, many businesses that fax do so over a cable or fiber modem that digitizes and multiplexes all the data at the building and transmits it to the outside world over glass or coax. Once it leaves the building and enters the service provider's network, it is technically vulnerable to being comprimised from remote action.

The number of events where two fax machines are sending and recieving data over 100% analog POTS lines between source and destination must be very, very few. In this case, hacking involves physical intrusion and can't be done remotely.
