*** Small PSA about HP printer vulnerability ***

    Major security flaw in HP printers (all of them basically, so assume this impacts you if you own one) which allows hackers and bots to get into your network through your printer. A FIX HAS BEEN DONE, SO UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE using your printer software
