From the article:

“Businesses need to have confidence in their supply chains and be aware of
the risks that counterfeit products can have on their networks, potentially
compromising integrity and functionality, including significant network
outages.”

Maybe the NSA shouldn't have put so much effort into backdooring them. If
the counterfeit products were just a way of making money off the brand and
the alleged criminals weren't actually doing anything nasty with the
products, I'd probably prefer a counterfeit Cisco router over a real one.

Thanks,
Iain.
