He's talking about the Staples print kiosk being hacked so they can steal a copy of everything that is printed.

  He is? Who needs to print "financial documents" in color? Also, the part about "4 viruses written to the boot sector" suggests the kiosk is also dropping malware onto the USB.

    >He is? Who needs to print "financial documents" in color? Nobody. Some still do out of ignorance. The same thing can happen when you print them in black and white from a similar kiosk. And the financial documents could be in the same usb next to documents you did want to print in color. >Also, the part about "4 viruses written to the boot sector" suggests the kiosk is also dropping malware onto the USB. He's trying to make a point, even if that wasn't the case in that particular instance, it's something that can very easily happen too. There's a lot of losing the forrest ("people sticking usbs to commercial kiosks to print is bad security") for some less significant detail trees in those questions...
