Hackers Exploit Linux Printing Flaw for Massive DDoS Attacks

Researchers discovered a new attack vector that exploits CUPS, a printing system. By sending a single packet to a vulnerable CUPS service, attackers can trigger a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.  Over 198,000 devices with internet exposure are vulnerable, and 34% of these could be used for DDoS abuse. The attack requires minimal resources, making it … Continue reading Hackers Exploit Linux Printing Flaw for Massive DDoS Attacks
