Cisco is the Oracle of the networking world. I'm sure it is mostly incompetence, with only the occasional state-actor poisoning the well. But I see little evidence Cisco gives a damn or has any intention of actually attempting to regain some of the squandered trust. Which is fine, from my perspective; for the most part I like other vendors' kit quite a bit more anyway. I do think product liability law needs to kick in somewhere. If you have some Tourettes-like inability to stop writing back doors in security products, there should be some outside pressure to maybe get some help.
