	<title>UBT's Response to HP Lawsuit Over Flaming-Printer Hack</title>
	<link> http://www.ubti.com/UBTs-Response-to-HP-Lawsuit-Over-Flaming-Printer-Hack.asp</link>
	<content type="html" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.w3.org/"><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was recently reported by MSNBC that&nbsp; "HP LaserJet printers built  before 2009 will accept remote firmware updates without properly  checking where they come from.&nbsp; This means that - at least in theory - a  hacker could cook up a malicious firmware update and upload it to a  printer to make it stop working, spy on print jobs, or maybe even set  the printer on fire."</p>
<p>UBT wants to ensure that our customers' equipment and data are  protected - please see below for Canon and SmartPrint Security  safeguards:</p>
<h3>Canon Security</h3>
<p>1.&nbsp; Canon devices do not automatically check for firmware upgrades unless specified to.&nbsp; This feature can be turned on or off.</p>
<p>2.&nbsp; The firmware cannot be updated via a print job sent to the machine.</p>
<p>3.&nbsp; Canon devices are upgraded in two secure ways, Physically at the  device using: a.) proprietary utilities and firmware or b.) Remotely  using Canon's secure CDS and UGW delivery system directly to the device.</p>
<p>4.&nbsp; The Universal Send feature, when configured with a Canon device,  is typically configured only to send emails never to receive emails,  which prevents spam and unauthorized use.</p>
<p>5.&nbsp; Furthermore, Canon's advanced line of copies have advanced  security options that provide encryption, digital signatures and  additional security layers to further protect the client's network and  the Canon device itself.</p>
<h3>SmartPrint Security</h3>
<p>1.&nbsp; Typically, most network printers are behind a companies' firewall and are unable to be accessed from outside the domain.</p>
<p>2.&nbsp; The DCA as of today does not facilitate attacks of this nature on  printers.&nbsp; Today, we read data from the MIB which is the data storage  component of the printer memory and not the memory segment that holds  executable code.</p>
<p>3.&nbsp; With the advanced security features Canon provides, along with  current network policies and protocols, most Canon MFPs are securely  behind network firewalls and are unable to receive firmware upgrades via  print jobs.</p>
<p>4.&nbsp; Firmware updates are securely performed by a certified service technician using proprietary Canon utilities.</p>
<p>If you have any further concerns, please contact us at 703.917.0100 or email info@ubti.com.</p>]]></content>
