Hewlett-Packard Criticized by One of the Security Firms

Sophos, one of the biggest company that provides Internet and computer security, they power 30% of all security appliances in the market these days. This firm criticized Hewlett-Packard (HP) and suggested that they should make it easier for end-users to find the list of HP printer models that can possibly be affected in the future and those already infected by Malware.

HP one of the giant firms in printing industry released their update weeks ago on each printer models that can possibly affected to remove and avoid the attack, see "HP: Security Issue on Printer Malware is Over". The hackers/attackers can access private information of customers using the help of Malware, this kind of software is uploaded to your printer by hackers and it exposed your personal information to them via online.

One of the senior technology consultant at Sophos wrote that: "It would have been nice if it had been a little easier to find, or linked to from HP's press release (announcing the fix)."

CRN's reported and posted on their website that the list is already available for users and HP is not happy in the accusation made by Sophos.

HP is a supplier of great quality products in computer and printing industry, they sell products such as inkjet cartridges and laser toner cartridges like the HP 128A toner cartridge. These products, the HP inkjet cartridges and quality laser toner cartridges can make you satisfied on your printing job.
