Sprint Routers Stolen; NYC Internet Outage Ensues

cbnet2004 writes "This story on eWEEK reports that late Sunday night a number of Sprint's DS-3 network cards were stolen from a Verizon colocation center at 38th St in Manhattan. Some customers apparently have service back but a number remain down -- it could be a while. The latest rumor on this situation is that some fiber optic cables were cut as well; this could put the affected customers out for days more."

    Everybody is so concerned with security online. It means nothing if somebody can just walk into your building and take your stuff.
