Cisco Ships Mexican Folk Music On VPN Client CD

Posted by samzenpus on from the whistle-while-you-work dept.

Not too bad if you're into that kind of music ... too bad if you need to get onto your corporate network. How much did those routers cost, again? 5,000,000 pesos?"

    There was a mix-up at the CD pressing factory and a Mexican music CD got labeled with Cisco's VPN software label and has been shipped/delivered to customers as such.

    I guess the story here is Cisco doesn't have any/sufficient QA on their CD's coming back from the factory.
