| | I think this malware gets into the printer program that is on your computer. My understanding is that malware can get into anything that is attached to your computer; wired or un-wired. |

| | Oh yeah, there's even a vulnerability where someone could remotely access your printer & turn on the heating element, which could cause a fire. And, believe it or not, someone discovered a vulnerability to access an online coffee maker & turn it on (They make a coffee maker that hooks to your WiFi & you can remotely turn it on from someplace, like when you're heading home.) |
