Massive security hole lets hackers control millions of cameras, printers and routers

...many people, like myself, have uPnP printers that store many of our printed documents. I can pull up any of the last 25 documents I've printed and reprint them without my computer even being on. If someone gets uPnP control of my printer, they can see everything I print.

That's not a showstopper for me, but I know plenty of small business owners who print payroll and other "sensitive" documents from their printers, who could be devastated by a remote breach like this.

The routers may be a bigger concern though. If they can breach your router, they can potentially intercept every bit of traffic on your network. That might include VoIP phone calls, traffic from wifi connected phones and devices, AND your M&M munching browsing sessions.
