All of the above plus very poorly managed network / network security.
(sadly a Given(tm) for anything ending dot-e-d-u.) a) why are *printers*
given public IPs? and b) why are internet hosts allowed to talk to them?
I actually *very* surprised your printers are still functional if the
whole internet can reach them.
Being an edu, even if they aren't globally reachable, there is *plenty*
mischievousness already inside the borders! Securing a campus from the
world... easy; securing a campus from it's own users... good luck with
that.
