Below is a new rumor that I received earlier today about Cisco:

"Haven't you heard yet about yesterday's mega-vulnerability in Cisco's internal systems?

"The single sign-on went wrong, and people trying to log into a variety of systems, were randomly logged into somebody else's account.

"Think about all of the SSNs, pay-stubs, etc. made available to random fellow Cisco employees (and outsiders like contractors).

"Think about how many restricted (ex. Director-and-above-eyes-only documents have been made available to random people...)

"They should probably make an SEC filing about that, although I'm not sure about the US regulation."
