Hijacking Printers For Spamming

[Osiris]

Here's one you might not have heard of, spammers hijacking printers. You heard me right, I said “hijacking printers.” Here's the lowdown on how it works:

Weaver's research is available in a paper published online. It describes how the attack could be initiated by creating a hidden iframe — a block of code inserted into a Web page and often served from a different domain than the Web page — and a Web form that submits the spam message to the printer. An attacker could also send the spam message as a fax, if the printer has fax capabilities.
