What happened

Making sure the checks get printed, Cisco Talos announced. The work you do may not always be visible, but it matters. Yeah, printing — but not reports or internal documents.

It turns out the software being used to print these business essential checks would not run on the current operating systems, and the physical printer cards used to connect to these non-network printers also required older hardware ports. It didn’t patch the vulnerable devices, but it went a long way to reducing the likelihood of a bad thing happening to these devices due to their out-of-date OS and software.

Do what you can to make sure the checks still get printed, while managing your risks intentionally. Attackers expect AI to be in your analysis pipeline, and they’re developing cheap methods to manipulate those systems.
