When Encryption Isn't Really Encryption

Vol 338 · Issue 4 · 2026-05-28

During a recent network security assessment, we were working on an environment that was well-hardened - Patching was current, password policies were strong, and network segmentation was in place. So, as part of our enumeration of all network assets, we started looking for default credentials and this led us to multiple Canon enterprise printers configured with default administrator credentials.
