SET your Passwords!
This entry may concern many, but I'm addressing it to the owner of a HP LaserJet 1300n. That could be many, right? Ok, but there is this one guy, setting up his LaserJet in a LAN, activating HTTP over Port 80 and allowing everybody - without ANY password to access his beloved printer, printing testpages all night...
People close their appartments when leaving and usually don't leave the carkeys plugged when they park in front of the shopping mall, but they leave their routers, printers and PCs wide open, inviting everybody.
I don't even dare thinking about networked fridges, microwaves and the like...
Well, if you're the one reading this, because the support link on the webinterface of your HP 1300n directed you here: Please set a Password!
...and thanks for reading ;)
