To [0], would there be any value to stealing the cards not to sell them but to reverse engineer them to find vectors for attacks? "Effectively unsupported, never updated, and responsible for a massive amount of telecommunications" sounds like a great time for an attacker. Also seems like it would have value for industrial espionage.
- mdip 9y agoI can't say that I'm completely sure, but I'm going to guess the answer is "Probably Not". The big telecoms tend to be very conservative about where they spend their money -- understandable with a product this expensive despite the grief one tends to have in working with the product. The market is also moving toward more generic equipment and less specialized hardware for a lot of things and I'd imagine these cards will fall into that category at some point, as well.
