Cisco Security hacked

Chinese State Hackers Exploit Cisco Flaw to Breach Telecom Firm -
The recent breach of a major Canadian telecom firm by China-linked Salt Typhoon underscores an escalating risk that every enterprise leader should track closely. This attack exploited a known Cisco vulnerability, highlighting how unpatched infrastructure remains a soft target for advanced persistent threat (APT) groups. As telecom networks serve as critical national infrastructure, their compromise not only threatens business operations but also national security and global stability.

G2 must be having a fit.

It’s a combination of bad code from 3rd world countries...

Clue: Cisco's code has been garbage for many decades, starting long before large scale international development was feasible. I saw many projects in the US fail so badly that they were dumped on India just to have someone else to blame.

I worked with people from a wide range of ethnicities at Cisco and the unifying factor for most everyone is the unwillingness if not outright inability to learn what they need to do for their current job, not to mention learn a broader set of skills to see how to integrate new technologies into larger scale systems. With no modern reference points few of you even know how far behind the rest of the world you actually are.

...and tech debt that management refuses to fix.

Cisco had spent the vast majority of its development dollars to the tune of tens of billions on bug fixing over the ages, so it's not a function of refusal.

There is no "other." You are all the problem.

@bw wait a defend cisco by pointing out cves of other companies. you must work in sales. thats how its spun to the customer.
cr-ppy code speaks for itself and cisco is full of it.

@b8+1jyvvr5jq

I’m not going to defend Cisco software quality. It’s a combination of bad code from 3rd world countries and tech debt that management refuses to fix.

Which company do you work for? I’m positive I can find a few highly scored CVEs.

Nothing new. Cisco has tons of bugs that can be exploited easily. They have such a horrible engineering team.

APT exploited a nearly two year old vulnerability (CVE-2023-20198) with patches available to fix.

This isn’t a Cisco problem.

G2 and CP. Two bald Patels. One ruining Cisco as a whole, the other ruined UK and now have started on EMEA. What's with this Patel mafia? Is that caste?
