Re: Cisco and the tobacco industry

* J. Oquendo:

Maybe it is time an authority figure steps in and makes some form of rules for vendors to distribute fixes under some form of law. If this flaw of Cisco's could lead to the kind of severe damage as Mr. Lynn claims, shouldn't it fall on the shoulders of Cisco to get their act together and provide a fix as opposed to sending in the hounds (legal shmoes via lawsuit) to quash their problems.

But it looks as if Cisco actually did this, and you (and Geo) just weren't part of the elite circle of operators whose networks are considered U.S. national critical infrastructure.
