> It's always Cisco routers

A few weeks ago it was all about Unifi (and many others) being backdoored due to some upstream supplier being pwned by the NSA.

So it's not only Cisco. It's all of them.

It is probably the following news event about NSA backdoors in chips made by Cavium (owned by Marvell).

It was a bit of hyperbole. However Cisco is very often mentioned in the context of found exploits if you look for example on The Register or similar IT news and subjectively even more than any other brand. Even if I am totally right about this, it still doesn't mean much in and of itself, so I asked.
