I received an unexpected "Welcome Mail". Should I be concerned?

[daniel9x]

Not sure if I'm posting the question in the right place, but I received a "Welcome Mail" giving me my username (the email address I received the email from) and a pin number. The problem is I didn't scan anything and configure that email address as the recipient of said scan. So from a security perspective, what should I do?

Thanks,
Daniel

Ignore it?

What we know:

Unknown printer - unknown configuration - apparently you did not intend to set up Scan to Email.

You may have set this up without meaning to do so.

Think about it - decide.

Worried?

Wait!  

As long as you are not subscribed to Instant Ink,

Switch off Web Services on your printer.
