Holy Crap! It's infosec conspiracy theory Xmas!

Juniper discovered that there's been a back door in their ScreenOS software source code for three years. More details.

That's really quite impressive. I mean, there have been things like attacks on cisco routers, but that's modifying existing code out in the wild - totally different level of WTF-ery.

I still have workers asking for a backdoor password for systems in the field...

Well, it's time for the Security Christmas Fuckage. *sigh*.

The VPN fail really bugs me. And the fact that I have to drag my staff's asses in to patch this.

On the positive side we can detect it with our SOCs.
