Probably not true. You can see from the leaked shadow brokers tools that they had to develop exploits to get on the devices, they didn't just have free access.

- shshhdhs 8y agoI don’t follow. In most cases, you still have to develop exploits to “exploit” vulnerabilities. Very few of them just offer you a login prompt over the internet.
- dx87 8y agoWhat don't you follow? If 3 letter agencies had been given backdoor access by Cisco, why would the 3 letter agencies need to develop exploits that take advantage of flaws in the software? Cisco could have just added port knocking instead of adding additional accounts and logic errors and hoping nobody except the US govt finds it.
