25% of HP printers vulnerable to penetration

Entered printers within the range of devices that may expose your computer to penetrate to pull important data, and the most prominent printers exposed to this risk is the famous HP printers.

And according to a study revealed by the British Guardian newspaper, conducted by researchers at Columbia University that 25% of HP computers vulnerable to penetration.

And the researchers used applications at a cost of only $ 2,000 to penetrate the American company printers, where the exploitation of software update for the printer to grow BB malicious facilitate piracy.

Despite ongoing updates HP printers, but the researchers stressed that it did not address the vulnerability through which succeeded in penetrating the printer making it easy later access to the data used.

The study indicates that all of the data that the printer can access them for printing both on the personal computer or on the cloud storage services become endangered if they were pre-breakthrough printer and planting malicious codes.

The HP Laser Jet, was the basic test devices in that study, but the researchers at Columbia University emphasized that the risk of prolonged many famous printers on the market and use the same software used by HP to perform the update.
