Apparently, the devices carry a severe vulnerability which could be abused in different ways.

The message was named hacked-machine_readme, and claimed that the unit has a critical vulnerability.

A digital padlock on a blue digital background.

To prevent potential exploitation, the users should disconnect their devices from the internet, the message reads.

This is just a harmless message.

You have not been harmed in any way, the message concludes.

What can be done?

It is also possible to put a startup script in the printer but I have not done so.

Let’s just hope anycubic fixes their MQTT server.

Also plz anycubic, make the printer open source.

The author of the message wrapped it up saying that it was sent to 2.8 million devices.

Anycubics website and Twitter account have not mentioned this incident by press time.
