| Cisco patches against “NSA” bacon Cisco has patched its software against hacking tools called extra bacon which are believed to have been nicked from the NSA. Two of the cyberweapons were trained on Cisco flaws which would allow the spooks to take over crucial security software used to protect corporate and government networks. In a statement, Cisco said that it had immediately conducted a thorough investigation of the files released, and has identified two vulnerabilities affecting Cisco ASA devices that require customer attention. “On Aug. 17, 2016, we issued two Security Advisories, which deliver free software updates and workarounds where possible.” An unknown group of hackers dubbed the Shadow Brokers posted cyberweapons stolen from the so-called Equation Group, the National Security Agency-linked outfit known as “the most advanced” group of cyberwarriors in the internet’s history. http://www.techeye.net/news/cisco-pa...inst-nsa-bacon |
