CNN.com - Geeks flex hacker muscles at Defcon - Aug 2, 2005

I wonder if this has anything to do with this. To quote the CNN article: "Among the exposed sheep were an engineer from Cisco Systems Inc., multiple employees from Apple Computer Inc. and a Harvard professor." Gee, warm fuzzies all around...


Excerpt from cisco.com:

Authentication Required

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

* Cisco has determined that Cisco.com password protection has been compromised.
* As a precautionary measure, Cisco has reset your password. To receive your new password, send a blank e-mail, from the account which you entered upon registration, to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. Account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you.
* Because of a large number of requests, registered Cisco.com users may experience delays in receiving the new passwords.
* This incident does not appear to be due to a weakness in Cisco products or technologies.
