Story: Hackers use Google to access photocopiers
Posted by: Ogden Larch (Sunday 31 October 2004, 9:45 AM)
dude, copiers now have ethernet cards in them. they work as networked office printers. they can also scan documents too. they have document management services such as put a document on the glass, press the button, scan it, it saves it to a hard drive inside the copier, and then go to your desk, browse to the copier's ip and retrieved the scanned document so that you can file it, attach it to email, paste it in word, whatever. If a company's net is open, google will spider their internal network and find the stuff and cache it on google's search engine and you can see it in google's cache. understand??
