Overlooked printer threats

[savannadiaz]

Hi! Reading on echodittolabs.org especially the printer security article, changed my view completely. I learned that printers store data, use network access, and often lack updates. The platform explained that attackers exploit default settings and forgotten devices. Because printers seem simple, they’re ignored during audits. This makes them easy entry points for data leaks. Treating printers as full network devices with policies and updates is essential to avoid silent but serious security breaches.
