You would seem to be correct, the printer vulnerability isn't the story behind the researcher's attack. But on the other hand, it is. Yes, a particular model of phone has a vulnerability to local network devices. But which is more interesting and important, knowing the Avaya 9608 is vulnerable, or talking about how devices we normally think of as totally passive (non-actors if you will) are actually attack vectors? In other words, the researcher details a vulnerability. That's the news out of the researcher. But to me, I'm reading an article about unusual attack vectors, because that's the most interesting part to me.
