200,000 Cisco network switches worldwide were hacked Friday, affecting large internet service providers and data centers across the world. The impact of the attack, including data loss, is not yet clear who carried out the attack. The hackers apparently reset the targeted devices, making them unavailable for reconfiguration and leaving a message that reads: “Do not mess with our election,” displaying a U.S. flag on some screens. Kaspersky Lab says the attack was made possible by a vulnerability in routers from Cisco.”]
