A lovely little practical joke if your neighbour’s security settings aren’t what they might be

Over on Twitter someone called Blake Messnick noticed their neighbour had a new wireless printer and – this is the important bit – they hadn’t secured it.

So they did this.

‘Hello. I am your printer. I have become self-aware. Run.’

His joke was shared thousands of times on Twitter and this week went viral all over again on Reddit.

‘There’s a company next to my house that has their printer unsecured but I’ve never thought about doing something like this.’ Lilpuncher

And there was an update.

Someone thought of another description for it.
