What is most disturbing is that they knew about this since a year now and have still not acted on that - even with all the press around Stuxnet.

BTW - RuggedCom was recently sold to Siemens for C$382 million - hope they have informed them about this issue otherwise I guess it soon will be lawyer time.

No worries. Siemens backdoors are even worse.

Indeed. Siemens vulnerabilities is precisely how Stuxnet worked.

I would love to know if this was ever disclosed to Siemens, especially prior to the purchase.

In any case, someone is RuggedCom should be fired for doing nothing about this. My impression after reading the Seclist notice is that they were playing a waiting game.

Oh good, then at least next time when Siemens develops and helps deploy more Internet censoring infrastructure for oppressive regimes again, there'll be some backdoors in it!
