Product: pro 8610
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I see i need to update my printer firmware due to a security vulnerability. Last time HP sneakily included ransome code in the update which a year later stopped me using affordable ink.
Am i safe to update - or is the risk of more ransome greater than the vulnerability risk ?
I note HP have never aplogised for including ransome code or said they will not do it again.
