Future breaking news: Cisco hardware used in massive botnet attack.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It would genuinely be an actual achievement to make Cisco software less secure. Usually, letting AI fully write software is bad. But in this case, I expect the rewrite to be better just because of how abysmally low the bar is specifically at Cisco.

LOL! God's honest I came in to say the exact same thing! Christ, the security on that kit is miserable. I ended up buying all new routers a few years ago and now use the old ones to run the Sonos speakers at my home and studio. Anyone hacks the networks and they'll get no further than my iPods.. Have fun guys!

Since I don't stream from the internet, its perfect.

You misspelled "Oracle entertaining Saudi buyout"

I'd be surprised if it could function well enough to even be compromisable.
