  • Action
    Miele is working on a solution for this issue. In the interim, Miele is recommending users implement the following measures in order to minimise risks: 1. Ensure that all relevant staff members using the machine are informed of this product correction; 2. Do not enable access to the machine via the Internet (e.g. through port forwarding). If the machine is accessible via the Internet, deactivate any Internet connections immediately; 3. Only operate these machines in a separate section of the network (physically separated or protected by access authorisation systems by configuring routers/firewalls). In this network, only operate the systems required for the documentation of reprocessing results (e.g. PC and printer);and 4. Access to any affected machine and access-authorised systems should be limited exclusively to persons requiring access. 4.1 Access-authorised systems should be protected using strong passwords. 4.2 Alter existing passwords on machines (cf. programming manual).
