LPT: Secure your network/wireless printer

Came across this on my Facebook news feed today. This is why you really want to make sure that your wireless equipment is secure and that no one else can get into it.

Although the nature of the incident was a mere prank as well, I personally wouldn't find it funny especially with the money dumped on getting the printer in the first place.

I'd find it funny as long as the person returns my printer after the affair.

Definitely. Of course I wouldn't be that malicious, but if I were, I would at least have the courtesy to return the printer to the purchaser and explain what happened, in addition to securing their network so that nobody else discovered the same flaw.
