Iran claims US exploited networking equipment backdoors during strikes — says devices from Cisco and others failed despite blackout in attack that 'indicates deep sabotage'
Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and MikroTik devices allegedly rebooted or disconnected during the conflict.
Some news/update on the war that may personally matter domestically for people right now rather:
If true all networking infrastructure/devices from US companies is compromised/backdoored to a level we didn't even know was possible (attacked despite being physically cut off from the broader internet).
Same level as the cheap Chinese AliExpress equivalents do for the CCP, and likely like their backdoor, any attacker who can find it can likely exploit it themselves.
Build your own routers ASAP, it's downright trivial
