Hackers use Google to access photocopiers

Do hackers really want to see random hairy butts, or age-old jokes destined for notice boards? .. (yes, I know they may get some useful stuff too, but it's more funny to think of the geeks finding nothing but useless garbage)

What about copies of a companies secrets? Unpublished release dates of apps....government documents........financial organisations.

The implications are endless

Our photocopiers at work are networked, so I can see how this could be possible. Although I'm not sure how you install a patch or ATF on a photocopier - where would you insert the CD?!? :dunce:

Talking of networked things, years and years ago a Coke machine was hooked up to the web at MIT (I think), so it was possible to see if the machine had run out of a particular brand without having to walk to the machine.
