Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Hackers made some attempts Friday to bring down network routing gear by exploiting a flaw in Cisco Systems equipment that carries the bulk of the world's Internet traffic.

There were no reports of outages or slowdowns, suggesting network administrators heeded Cisco's warnings about the flaw and implemented workarounds or installed the free patch.

Cisco discovered the flaw through internal testing.

1. Let them hack away..
The major telecomunication companies where notified a week before the CERT announcement came out. No big deal. Access lists updated and some other little things of which I can't speak of.

Cisco sucks anyway..
JUNIPER ROCKS! I feel like the guy on home improvement grr..grr..grr when the big M160 fires up.
