Re: Great backdoor for the NSA to exploit

Yes this 'flaw' does seem to fit very nicely with the previously disclosed Photos of an NSA “upgrade” factory show Cisco router getting implant

Only issue is that the photo disclosure dates the activities as happening in 2010, according to Thrangrycat/Red Balloon their discovery exploits a feature introduced in 2013...

However, the publication of Glenn Greenwald's book in 2014 and an associated trove of papers might not be unrelated...
