>>This is getting serious. Earlier this year Australia banned Huawei from bidding on its NBN due to fears over security issues: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-29/government-maintains-nbn-ban-on-chinese-telco-huawei-after-secu/5051622 . Clearly now there is reason to believe the US govt/NSA could similarly backdoor Cisco, Juniper etc. equipment destined for China or other sensitive locations. Those companies will scream when they get banned from bidding on contracts. Even domestic customers will have second thoughts.

>"Intercepting equipment" is one possibility. The other is that the companies named are complicit, and that the malware was installed at the factory.

It must be the guy loading boxes into trucks. He was my prime suspect from day one.
