打印机遭远程攻击？

哥伦比亚大学调查者得出 结论： 成百万的惠普打印机通过不安全的远程固件更新，可能导致遭受远程攻击。网络罪犯可窃取打印机上的个人信息（如待打印文档），或者由此攻击安全网络。惠普承 诺理论上存在安全问题，但表示到目前为止，尚无用户报告出现非授权打印机访问事件。对调查者得出的观点，惠普部分予以了 否认，部分仍在调查之中。

Printers Open to Remote Attacks?

Columbia University researchers claim millions of HP printers could be open to remote attack via unsecured Remote Firmware Updates. Cybercriminals could steal personal information or attack otherwise secure networks. HP agrees there is a theoretical security problem but says no customer has ever reported unauthorized printer access. The company denies some of the claims and is still investigating others.
