Has anyone started updating the Konica Minolta equipment from the attached bulletin? If so how are you tackling it. Any issues or struggles? Just want to see how other dealers are approaching this bulletin. 12782.pdf

Never saw or heard of a copier being hacked before.We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
The medication helps though... -

It's not necessarily the copier, or the data on it, they are after. Generally hackers look for any type of device that can be exploited, which gives them a way into the entire network. Once they have something they can exploit, then they use that as a means to go after the big stuff like the local servers, etc.
Things like that are also why the best security advice at home is to keep all your IOT (Internet of Things ["smart"]) devices off your main home network and on their own separate network (like a guest network). Those "smart" devices in people's homes are almost never updated, and can be a backdoor into anything in your home network. It only takes one little thing (smart bulb, outlet, WiFi camera, etc.) to compromise everything you have...A Ricoh Service Tech for 7 year. A Konica Minolta Service Tech for 7 years. Now, KM service manager for 4 years.
My Ricoh knowledge is slowly dwindling away at this point. Many things have been lost to time...Comment

Re: Multiple Vulnerabilities and Mitigation Methods bulletin# 12782
That's not possible for i-series thanks to nVME/solid state storage. I think the initial user manuals stll contained the possibility for that but this as bad copy&paste work. he recent manuals only offers a complet data erase in admin menu you can run as customer before returning an MFP.
Solid state drives don't like high counts of write processes and thanks to wear leveling algorythms they do not really work with a static file system internally.
You can still encrypt your data of course.Comment

same thoughts, If they are getting to the copier multiple layers of security have already been breached.Comment
