<snip>
Could a hacker from half-way around the planet control your printer
and give it instructions so frantic that it could eventually catch
fire? Or use a hijacked printer as a copy machine for criminals,
making it easy to commit identity theft or even take control of entire
networks that would otherwise be secure?

It’s not only possible, but likely, say researchers at Columbia
University, who claim they've discovered a new class of computer
security flaws that could impact millions of businesses, consumers,
and even government agencies
