Your printer is spying on you

By Donald Sensing

Thinking of printing out a ransom note? An anonymous threat to commit a crime? An unsigned note to your boss explaining why you hate his guts?

Yes, and you're even going to use latex gloves to handle the paper - no fingerprints! Think no one could ever track you down from that anonymous, fingerprint-free paper that you handled so carefully you didn't even breathe in its direction?

Well, think again. The FBI will be waiting for you when you get home because printers add secret tracking dots.
