A raft of bugs in six popular models can allow a hacker to wreak havoc on a corporate network. The bugs will be presented by NCC Group at a DEF CON session entitled Why You Should Fear Your Mundane Office Equipment on Saturday.

There s also the possibility of installing backdoors to maintain a hidden presence on the network.
