HP Leaves Mac Users Vulnerable to Fax Hacks
Oftentimes when HP releases firmware updates for printers and multifunction devices, the company only makes the firmware available in the form of an EXE file — a Windows application. In spite of the severity of the Faxploit bugs, HP has not made an exception to this unfortunate practice.
Of the more than 150 affected models for which HP released firmware updates, approximately one quarter of them do not have a Mac-compatible firmware update installer available to download through HP's support site. Later in this article is a complete list of devices for which Mac-compatible firmware installation methods are not currently available.
This leaves companies and home users that only use macOS or Linux in a difficult position: unplug your fax line, or remain vulnerable to serious attacks.
