San Francisco police have been using driverless cars for surveillance to assist in law enforcement investigations.

A handful of tech giants have pledged more than $30 million to implement a plan to improve open-source and software supply chain security.

The multimillion-dollar pledge follows a meeting at the White House this week, led by the National Security Council, that brought together public and private-sector experts to discuss ways to improve the security of open-source software.

Following the Thursday meeting, the Linux Foundation and its Open Source Software Security Foundation released a plan that outlines about $150 million of needed funding over two years to help solve 10 open-source security problems.

A technical security advisory has been published that lists affected models and fixed firmware versions.

The interesting thing about this exploit, according to the security researchers, is that it's not due to a vuln in the networking features and protocols exposed by the printer, its software and drivers, or web apps running on the printer.
