Also there is the whole issue that this is yet another appliance whose firmware is utter shit and won't be updated EVER that needs internet access, which means it gets insta-pwned by everyone that wants to.
Seriously, last year I've got to clean up a HP multifunction printer that was spamming malware in the local network (thankfully a reset from the hidden service menu was enough, the hard part was diagnosing from where the fuck all the PCs in the office were getting infected from), then add it to the firewall's blacklist to prevent ANY internet access to it (as even by disabling from its own menus it was still chatting with the outside).
From then on all bullshit appliances we install get firewalled.
