In fact, attacks against printers take place more often than you can imagine. Such is applicable to both office and home printers. The increasing number of attacks on printers is, partially, their users' fault. Speaking about companies and organizations, while they take effective security measures to ensure the safety of their network, private data, and products, though not always successfully, they do not apply the same security measures to printers.
The situation will not change for the better unless we understand one simple truth — printers we use are easy targets to cybercriminals. For ordinary computer users, a printer hack may result in private data theft, a pile of ruined paper sheets, and a completely drained ink cartridge since hackers may start printing documents with random content out of the blue.
However, the problem is much more serious for companies, institutions, and organizations. A hacked printer may not only result in confidentially issues, but, at the same time, it may considerably reduce consumer trust. Who would want to do business with a company that fails to ensure the safety of personal information?
Even though all printer hacks surely do not appear on the news, they are relatively common. If you live in the U. S, you should be able to easily recall the incident that affected thousands of publicly accessible printers in North America back in , including those located on several college campuses and even at the famous Princeton University.
At that time, anti-Semitic fliers started coming out of printers spontaneously, and this is only one of dozens of existing examples. An anonymous hacker reported that he could have easily hijacked up to , organizations' and companies' printers if he wanted to in the blink of an eye due to weak security measures applied and the absence of any form of authentication.
Printer hacking is a real threat, and it is very likely that these attacks will become even more malicious in nature in the near future. Unfortunately, HP wireless printers are not immune to hacking despite claims that may have been made through security features or specific use circumstances. Hackers have recently discovered major vulnerabilities in more than 20 printers developed by popular manufacturers, including HP.
It is suspected that the total number of vulnerable printers is considerably higher. If a printer can be easily accessed by unauthorized people, it is only a question of time when it gets hacked. Therefore, it is very important to take security measures.
First of all, it is advisable to reset a printer password. Whether your printer is still secured by the default password, or the password you use is one of the top 25 worst passwords ever, you must opt for a password reset to improve its security. Passwords are usually required to access network and wireless printers. Second, it is a must to keep printer firmware updated. You will no doubt prevent a printer hack by simply resetting a password to a more secure one and keeping the firmware up-to-date.
You must also make sure there are no open ports that would enable hackers to access your printer without your knowledge. Last but not least, speaking about wireless printers in particular, you must ensure that your WiFi network is password-protected.
Overall, your machine's security is highly dependent on the condition of three facets: hardware, software, and secure networking.
