Scary!!!

and i can't believe nortel didn't fully investigate, that is just nuts!!!

Many many many times companies do not investigate these things, they just get swept under the rug...

sad sad times.

Crazy it would go on for that long. Though I would not really call it hacking, if they knew the password. It's more like "logging in without authorization using someone else's password". But guess it's just easier to call it hacking.

I still find it too bad that Nortel went under, their stuff was very solid, and even today is still widely used.

Agreed, they did have a solid product. Oh well, on to new things I suppose.
