Hacker Weev Admits to Hacking Printers to Spew Racist and Anti-Semitic Messages
Andrew Auernheimer, a black hat hacker known as "Weev," has admitted to hacking thousands of Internet-connected printers and making them print out racist and anti-semitic messages.
The actual hack took place on Thursday, March 24, and by the second day, local newspapers were reporting on thousands and hundreds of printers spewing out nasty messages all over their towns.
The attack hit printers in the US, but there were cases in Australia as well. While many companies reported the incident, it was in universities where things escalated, some of them calling the police and even the FBI.
