PewDiePie printer hackers strike again

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Seriously, you'd have to WORK AT IT to put a printer directly on the internet and bypass the NAT router. So I assume there are a but-load of IDIOT I.T. peeps out there who think it's a great idea to put an office printer on the WAN side. F'ing morons...

If these "hackers" can see their printers, imagine how much more of the network they could gain access to. Are they exploiting the cloud functions? Still, you have to set those up.
