It is POSSIBLE that a hacker gets user credentials from a not fully
secured web server, but only a few of those credentials lead to
useful information specialy about photocopiers, there are alot of
elements starting from design ending at security that all take
action in such a matter.
Yes "THEORETICALLY" it is "POSSIBLE", but "IN ACTION" it is
"ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE" and it doesn't even worth trying searching
such a huge load of data.
