The Belgian government is highly incompetent in all matters related to cyber security (amongst many other things).
There was a case a few years back, where apparently some of their more important systems were infected by an unknown trojan or a piece of spyware - can't exactly remember what it was.
I believe, at the time, they assumed that it came from the NSA. Guess who they called to fix it? The NSA.
What a disgrace.

- charlesdm 12y agoPersonally, I believe they should've been able to fix it themselves. Then again, I'm also the kind of person who believes that you don't spy on your friends.

And we know that no one can trust Cisco in any case - if Cisco themselves do not cooperate, NSA will intercept the parcel en route anyway.
