My boss saw this article and now he's asking me to find out if our products are vulnerable (we make printers/photocopiers), but there is not really much detail in the article.
What commands would have to be entered from Google? Where are the photocopies being stored prior to being accessed by "hackers"?
If you are willing to tell we where you got this information, it would make my job a lot easier.

Thanks,
Ryan W. Paul
