Brother Printers Hacked

Recently, it was found that many Brother printers have a security flaw.

Hackers can figure out the printer's default administrator password just by knowing its serial number.

This allows them to take control of the printer, potentially accessing scanned documents or even using the printer to get into other parts of your network.

If you own an affected Brother printer - Brother Printers With Hacking Vulnerability  - here's what you should do to protect yourself:

1.  Change the Default Password IMMEDIATELY

This is the most crucial step. Brother printers come with a default administrator password (often "access" or found on a sticker on the printer)

Hackers can easily guess or generate this password.

You need to change it to a strong, unique password as soon as possible via the printer's web-based management settings.

2.  Update Firmware

Check Brother's support website for your specific printer model to see if there are any Firmware Updates available:
