Being Hacked is Not Fun
By Noel Ward, Editor@Large Some of the most interesting things I hear from printers I visit come up after business hours. I’m sitting with the owner, having a drink before dinner. The person I’m sitting across from has a sip, then begins relating how things went sideways when the company was hacked. He recovered, but not without pain. It’s sometimes a little surprising given the amount of security built into many products. However, cyber-security still isn't top-of-mind for many print providers, even those handling sensitive data. |
