"hackers".. I'd like to see what sort of "hacking" was involved. Most likely the wifi password where the printer sits was shared with everyone and the dog, and now everyone is a hacker.
- djbusby 5y agoJust wait till they level up with View Source! Straight to hacker jail!
- boomboomsubban 5y agoSounds like printers improperly accessible by internet.
- ctvo 5y agoWhy are you putting "hacking" in quotes like it's inaccurate here? What do you think the majority of hacking, as in what security professionals / malicious attackers do, entail? A small number of security vulnerabilities are low level or clever tricks, the majority are finding holes in people, processes, and systems that are blatantly obvious.
- richardfey 5y agoHacking does not equate to what security professionals do, despite what you seem to think. That is nowadays mostly a beaurocracy-pushing job with little exploration. I am referring to the correct definition of the term where you are supposed to hack something.
- ctvo 5y ago> I am referring to the correct definition of the term where you are supposed to hack something. Oh I see. Your contribution here was semantics? The press misused the term as you saw it even if it was obvious what they were referring to? How novel.
- MiguelX413 5y agoWtf is a correct definition

- mmh0000 5y ago[pedantic mode] Acctttually cracker is the correct term.
