Hacker behind anti-Semitic flyers at DePaul University

Posted on March 26, 2016 by Dissent

ABC reports that remote print capabilities have enabled hackers to print and distribute anti-semitic flyers:

DePaul University is searching for the hacker behind a white supremacist, anti-Semitic flyer that appeared on campus.

The university president says someone hacked into several printers and the flyer printed simultaneously. Officials say the source was not a DePaul account.

DePaul wasn’t the only university hit this way, it seems. Yesterday, CBS reported the rash of anti-semitic flyers also affected Princeton University; Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island; the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

    Horrible. Not only is it a security breach, it is only a matter of physical security present on these campuses. Many of these colleges and universities have a large Jewish population on their campuses. I do not have to imagine how this will affect ‘any
    student in feeling safe.
