  Also it’s for a UV printer, not an inkjet or laser printer, with the cheapest option on their website being $1900 and the average being around $6000. So, not a regular printer you would buy off the shelf. It’s still bad of course, but only so many people even could be impacted by it.

    Except you don’t need to have bought one to be affected by it. Maybe your employer bought one, and infected a computer you use at work.

      That’s possible, but they aren’t really typical office printers either, it’s for specialized art printing. Again it’s definitely bad, this just isn’t typical office equipment.

    That’s almost worse. Because then you’ll be more inclined to trust them.

      Yeah, I would expect a printer I paid 6k for to not have malware!
