Arrest in Cisco Code Theft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hack-and-roll dept.

Kozar_The_Malignant writes "The BBC is reporting that an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Cisco code that was posted to the internet last May. Approximately 800 MB was posted to a Russian security website. No name has been released and details are rather thin."

    "The core code for this operating is as important to Cisco as the naked code of Windows is to Microsoft. The Internetwork software is used to power almost all Cisco's routers. "

    why nobody here says that they should use open source instead long time ago?

    They need to crack down on IP thieves that threaten the ability of people to earn a living from writing code. This hurts us all because it punishes innovation and will mean worse and less software down the line. It's people like Mr. NoName that ruin the system for the rest of us. Him and the whole Open Source/Free Software movement, many members of which want to "liberate" copyrighted software!
