DEF CON 2019: 35 Bugs in Office Printers Offer Hackers an Open Door

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.
