Correct me if I'm wrong, but to be affected, don't you need to have UDP port 631 exposed to the outside world? Apologies for being a bit blunt, but if you're exposing services like printing to the internet that shouldn't be exposed, well, then... you kind of deserve to get owned, right?

The people who have no idea what services are listening on their machine due to some default that someone else decided upon absolutely deserve to get owned, yes, because that's a totally reasonable mentality to have.
Sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious. At what point did it just become normal to be so user-hostile?

This is the quintessential wrong way of thinking about computers and security. It's the equivalent of the "OK, but.. [insert BS argument trying to deflect]". There is no "but", "Your" system has a bug/vulnerability/non-compliance - FIX it and help the users/customers instead of waterboarding us with pseudo-moralistic quips about "deserving" and whatnot.
The Universe is quite a big place with realities, situations and contexts you wouldn't even fathom. Be humble.
( Hope I wasn't too blunt :) )
