In July this year, the computer game Doom launched at the normal ATM. Now a specialist in network security Michael Jordon was able to run this classic shooter and a wireless printer Canon Pixma. To accomplish this, Michael took four months. Its main purpose was to demonstrate the safety problems of devices that are connected to the Internet. According to Michael, to login to the web interface of wireless printers Canon Pixma does not require a user name and password that allows any person possessing the necessary knowledge to hack your printer and access to personal information.
Reportedly, Michael remotely connect to the printer and changed the address from which the device receives an update, so uploading the game. According to the specialist, attackers can upload in the same way different character malicious applications to other devices using a wireless connection.
Canon has immediately responded to the accident and said it planned to close all the "loopholes" in its future printers, and will be much harder to crack.
