It's not like this is surprising, as such; it's just really bad that these chucklefucks got caught doing it.
(Yes, it's arguably morally wrong and so on, but just from a purely economic perspective, bad show.)
- runjake 13y agoI'm curious to where you got Cisco from, as I can't find in the article where they are mentioned. Not to say that Cisco isn't in cahoots with the NSA. I totally believe they are, but it's best to level accusations with facts, to lower the SNR, so to speak. As a point of trivia: most Cisco routers and switches are manufactured in China and are stored in the US as inventory, and are shipped to customers as ordered from the US.
- angersock 13y agoMy chain of reasoning is: article announces compromise of American networking gear --> Cisco is major American networking gear vendor --> CSCO may suffer cancelled orders because of this Not 100% certain or anything, but it's a big canary that's trivial to watch. Remember, they didn't actually have to do anything, just suffer from market fears.
