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."

    From the article:

    Soon after the appearance of the code Cisco confirmed that the FBI was investigating how the theft had occurred.

    And...

    Cisco said that it had not been stolen as a result of loopholes in its software.

    So, they need the FBI to determine how the theft occurred, but they're sure it wasn't because their software has security holes?

    Either you know how it happened or you don't, guys. Can't be both.
