Lock down your printers, lest Weev (and now countless others) will troll you with racist print jobs. http://motherboard.vice.com/en_ca/read/hacker-weev-made-thousands-of-internet-connected-printers-spit-out-racist-flyers https://storify.com/weev/a-small-experiment-in Fwiw, I've a couple slides in a 2014 Educause preso detailing this vector exactly...down to the shell script...and one slide in particular that will most certainly get you the backing from C-level execs to remove your printers from public IP (child pr0n, hostile work environment lawsuits, every public IP printer now a state/federal crime scene). http://www.educause.edu/sites/default/files/library/presentations/SEC14/SESS08/shodan_for_edu_educause_security_conference_2014_public_version_shawn_merdinger.pdf Cheers, --scm
