Maybe for the geeks in you, it may be a PR disaster, but I doubt their
stock price will come down much. Oddly I wonder if those in gov are
watching closely to those who are running around shorting Cisco stock. Or
should that be: "sh0rt1ng c1sc0 st0ck!@$"

Cisco had the exploit fixed in April and no longer offers the
exploitable OS for download on their site.
