The memory of your beatings is the hub of all my troubles :(
Packet loss. Hur hur.
If they can't route a package with it being tampered with how am I supposed to trust their packets?
So, i started working for Cisco shortly after this went down, and it actually changed basically everything about their global supply chain. Anywhere that devices which would be provided to customers were at rest were blanketed by cameras and literally all procurement shipping was changed to overnight (or first overnight for anything near a warehouse) to try to make it functionally impossible to execute the same attack again.
Talk shit about their products all you want, but they were unironically angry about this issue and in classic Cisco fashion threw money at the problem until it went away.
That's awesome.
I suspect there's still ample opportunity for the NSA/etc (indeed any state actor) to interfere with shipping at almost any point and have disclosure that it happened be a crime.
Stop trying to make slam a thing again

Good catch.
Why is a ten year old article in a world news comm?
I mean, the post says so in the first sentence. It's a callback reminder in light of the explosive pagers.
Just wait until gen Z gets a better foothold in journalism.
Harris BODIES Trump in latest release
Yeah, we knew that before Snowden. Story made me think of my uncle, RIP, who's friend told him to "buy Cisco, trust me" back in the early '90s. So my uncle bought Sysco. He was pissed at himself until the day he died.
I think Sysco is up about 10% per year on average since 1990 so it's not so bad...
