Ok, but that's bullshit, isn't it? Not all customers are going to be proactive/attentive enough to know their hardware is vulnerable. Cisco knows there is vulnerable gear in the wild, knows there is a fix, but withholds the fix until people come begging? Almost feels like the sort of thing that should be illegal (or at least on the losing end of a civil suit).

- Buge 8y agoDidn't Microsoft do something similar by stopping support for Windows XP, but providing support longer for people who pay special support contracts? Of course Microsoft also released some free security updates beyond the date too.
