Seems JavaScript is getting some bad press:
"Security researchers have found a way to use JavaScript
to map a home or corporate network and attack connected
servers or devices, such as printers or routers."

There seems to be quite a bit of FUD happening in regard to this issue
- as far as I can see, JavaScript could have been used for this for
years, it's only now someone has decided it's a security risk.
I'm not sure what anyone can do with knowing that my printer's IP is
10.1.1.5, but maybe someone else has a suggestion?
