Read the article again, or better yet do a ctrl-f for the word "cyber"

With how shit cisco's security is and how badly they're having their ass handed to them, you'd think they could roll out any cybersecurity "hardening" in their special ukraniuan firmware to other models.



I read it. But given your response, I think you didn't. There are two, and only two, specific mitigations mentioned in the article: high accuracy local time sources and low temperature certification. If you think you read about something else, feel free to quote it in reply, but we both know that isn't going to happen because it doesn't exist.

If you think, based on the article, that Cisco shipped private security mitigations to Ukraine apart from the timekeeping algorithm, that's something you have hallucinated out of whole cloth. There is no basis for it in the linked article, and it has no precedent anywhere in their 38 year history as a company.

Also, you managed to spell "Ukrainian" incorrectly and link to an article that 404s. Good job, or something.
