While I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this, I am fairly certain that many governmental agencies use Cisco gear as well. Even if they did not, it does not matter. The Internet backbone uses Cisco and if you take down the backbone the rest is irrelavant. IMHO, this is a serious security breach.
Thanks, seems this could be a BIG problem.......thank you. Did you see the FR thread on this was removed? I wonder what happened there?
