Hackers Strike Vulnerable Printers Again in Support of PewDiePie
0 comments
Hackers have hijacked vulnerable printers around the world for the second time to urge users to subscribe to popular YouTuber PewDiePie.
However, in the latest incident, the hackers warned that they had the power to destroy the printers and told the users to improve their cybersecurity since hacking isn’t a game and it has real-life consequences.
They also claim to have printed out their latest message on more than 100,000 machines, and warned that the chips on the printers have a limited number of “writes” on their firmware which can be damaged if looped on enough.
