A Hacker Just Pwned Over 150,000 Printers Left Exposed Online

Too funny....

Yeah, check your network printer to make sure it hasn't opened a port to the internet. Better yet, disable uPnP on your router and power cycle your printer. Today it's just a fun prank, but these exposed services may also be used to hack into your network or add the printer to a botnet.

If I was a corporate IT manager I'd just start eating Xanax like candy from now on. It's only going to get worse.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
